Scientists are remaining stubbornly silent about a lost race of giants found in burial mounds near Lake Delavan, Wisconsin, in May 1912.The dig site at Lake Delavan was overseen by Beloit College and it included more than 200 effigy mounds that proved to be classic examples of 8th century Woodland Culture.But the enormous size of the skeletons and elongated skulls found in May 1912 did not fit very neatly into anyone’s concept of a textbook standard. They were enormous. These were not average human beings. Strange Skulls

First reported in the 4 May 1912 issue of the New York Times the 18 skeletons found by the Peterson brothers on Lake Lawn Farm in southwest Wisconsin exhibited several strange and freakish features.

Their heights ranged between 7.6ft and 10 feet and their skulls...

“presumably those of men, are much larger than the heads of any race which inhabit America to-day.”

They tend to have a double row of teeth, 6 fingers, 6 toes and like humans came in differant races. The teeth in the front of the jaw are regular molars. Heads usually found are elongated believed due to longer than normal life span.

One must wonder how much can they lift if twice the size of a average human today? Are these the Giants the Bible & many other civilizations have in their history and painted on their walls?

The Bible in Genisis 6:4

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old men of renown."

Now this is faulty logic to any scientist out there because I am using religous/cultural history to fill a hole in science.

Over 200 Giant digs have been found in recent years. Giant skeleton finds have not made the local/national news since the 1950’s for the most part. It seems in most peoples opinion do to the fear that people would question evolution . If anything a de-evolution.

In 2002, National Geographic reported a dozen Cyclops skeletons found in Greece that stood 12-15 1/2 Ft tall. That is 3 humans tall. One eye socket. Giants in history are typically cannibalistic in nature.

The reason why I am bringing up giants will all tie into politics, and word happenings. Look at a basketball hoop and add 5 feet. That tall. Greek Mythology talks about war with cyclops learning they had to bring down by taking out their legs rendering them slow and helpless.

American Giants (Red Hair Giants) where found with egyptian writing on their tombs have been found in multiple locations.

Mystery of The Wisconsin Giants

Was this some sort of prank, a hoax played by local farm boys or a demented taxidermist for fun and the attention of the press? The answer is no.

The Lake Delavan find of May 1912 was only one of dozens and dozens of similar finds that were reported in local newspapers from 1851 forward to the present day. It was not even the first set of giant skeletons found in Wisconsin.

On 10 August 1891, the New York Times reported that scientists from the Smithsonian Institution had discovered several large “pyramidal monuments” on Lake Mills, near Madison, Wisconsin.

“Madison was in ancient days the centre of a teeming population numbering not less than 200,000,” the Times said.

The excavators found an elaborate system of defensive works which they named Fort Aztalan.

“The celebrated mounds of Ohio and Indiana can bear no comparison, either in size, design or the skill displayed in their construction with these gigantic and mysterious monuments of earth — erected we know not by whom, and for what purpose we can only conjecture,” said the Times.

On 20 December 1897, the Times followed up with a report on three large burial mounds that had been discovered in Maple Creek, Wisconsin. One had recently been opened.

“In it was found the skeleton of a man of gigantic size. The bones measured from head to foot over nine feet and were in a fair state of preservation. The skull was as large as a half bushel measure. Some finely tempered rods of copper and other relics were lying near the bones.”

Giant skulls and skeletons of a race of “Goliaths” have been found on a very regular basis throughout the Midwestern states for more than 100 years. Giants have been found in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and New York, and their burial sites are similar to the well-known mounds of the Mound Builder people.

The spectrum of Mound builder history spans a period of more than 5,000 years (from 3400 BCE to the 16th CE), a period greater than the history of Ancient Egypt and all of its dynasties.

There is a “prevailing scholarly consensus” that we have an adequate historical understanding of the peoples who lived in North America during this period. However, the long record of anomalous finds like those at Lake Delavan suggests otherwise.

The Great Smithsonian Cover-Up

Has there been a giant cover-up? Why aren’t there public displays of gigantic Native American skeletons at natural history museums?

The skeletons of some Mound Builders are certainly on display. There is a wonderful exhibit, for example, at the Aztalan State Park where one may see the skeleton of a “Princess of Aztalan” in the museum.

But the skeletons placed on display are normal-sized, and according to some sources, the skeletons of giants have been covered up.

Specifically, the Smithsonian Institution has been accused of making a deliberate effort to hide the “telling of the bones” and to keep the giant skeletons locked away.

In the words of Vine Deloria, a Native American author and professor of law:

“Modern day archaeology and anthropology have nearly sealed the door on our imaginations, broadly interpreting the North American past as devoid of anything unusual in the way of great cultures characterized by a people of unusual demeanor.“The great interloper of ancient burial grounds, the nineteenth century Smithsonian Institution, created a one-way portal, through which uncounted bones have been spirited.“This door and the contents of its vault are virtually sealed off to anyone, but government officials. Among these bones may lay answers not even sought by these officials concerning the deep past.”

Two Giant Skeletons Near Potosi, WI

The January 13th, 1870 edition of the Wisconsin Decatur Republican reported that two giant, well-preserved skeletons of an unknown race were discovered near Potosi, WI by workers digging the foundation of a saw mill near the bank of the Mississippi river.

One skeleton measured seven-and-a-half feet, the other eight feet. The skulls of each had prominent cheek bones and double rows of teeth. A large collection of arrowheads and “strange toys” were found buried with the remains.

Giant Skeleton Discovered in Maple Creek, WI

On December 20th, 1897 the New York Times reported that three large burial mounds had been discovered near Maple Creek, WI. Upon excavation, a skeleton measuring over nine feet from head to toe was discovered with finely tempered copper rods and other relics.

Giant Skeleton in West Bend, WI

A giant skeleton was unearthed outside of West Bend near Lizard Mound County Park and assembled by local farmers to a height of eight feet. More about this can be found in Washington County Paranormal: A Wisconsin Legend Trip by local author and investigator J. Nathan Couch.

While a normal-sized skeleton of a supposed mound builder (the “Princess of Aztalan”) is on display at the site of several large pyramidal monuments near Madison called Aztalan State Park, the goliath remains of Wisconsin’s giants have vanished along with the hundreds of others discovered throughout the midwest.

Many have accused the Smithsonian Institution of covering up these discoveries, locking the giant skeletons away and depriving the public of their findings.

Meanwhile, on Saturday morning, an impact crater has been spotted at Karimalloor village in Ernakulam district, which is believed to be caused by the fireball on Friday night.

"We have located a suspected impact crater at Karimalloor village in Ernakulam district and our team is rushing to the spot," State Disaster Management Authority's scientist Sekhar Kuriakose said, according to Business Standard.

Recently, similar incidents were reported in the US, Russia and various parts of Europe. NASA had explained that these could be the debris of the disintegrated Chinese rocket that was carrying the Yaogan Weixing-26 satellite.

"Few days ago fireball was seen across sky above Western US, which according to NASA was Chinese rocket debris," scientist Rajagopal Kammath said, according to Manorama Online.

When a massive and mysterious hole was discovered in Siberia last July (see pictures), social media users pointed to everything from a meteorite to a stray missile to aliens to the Bermuda Triangle as possible causes. But the most plausible explanation seemed to be the explosive release of melting methane hydrate—an ice-like material frozen in the Arctic ground—thanks to global warming

Now, scientists are arguing that the methane theory is unlikely, based on new satellite surveys released by Russian researchers that found dozens of new craters in Siberia.

"The jury is still out" on the cause of Siberia's craters, says Carolyn Ruppel, chief of the U.S. Geological Survey's Gas Hydrates Project. But she and other scientists say the new satellite mapping suggests another explanation that has to do with the rapid melting of ice cores called pingos.

A pingo is a plug of ice that forms near the surface over time and has a small mound or hill on top.

When an ice plug melts rapidly—as many have been, thanks to unseasonably warm temperatures in Siberia over the past year—it can cause part of the ground to collapse, forming a crater. But that process alone isn't enough to explain the ejected rocks that have been found around the rim of the craters, which suggest some sort of explosion.

Instead, Ruppel theorizes that the craters were formed by a sudden release of natural gas that had been stored in the permafrost but was kept under pressure by the weight of the pingo.

This theory is bolstered by the Russian satellite data, which show pingos—they appear as small mounds—in the exact positions where the craters later formed.

There are many more pingos across Siberia, as well as on Alaska's North Slope, so there's substantial risk of additional craters opening up as the planet continues to warm, Ruppel says.

"Urgent Investigation"

Until this week, scientists had known about only three of the craters. In November, scientists from the Russian Centre of Arctic Exploration donned climbing gear and explored one of them, which was 54 feet (16.5 meters) deep.

But in response to the discovery of more holes, Moscow-based scientist Vasily Bogoyavlensky has called for an "urgent investigation" of the holes amid safety fears, since oil and gas operations are not far from the craters on Russia's remote Yamal Peninsula, in northern Siberia.

Bogoyavlensky, who is deputy director of Russia's Oil and Gas Research Institute, told Russian media this week that at least seven craters have now been detected by satellites, including one large hole that is surrounded by as many as 20 smaller craters. Two of the previously discovered craters have developed into lakes.

But Ruppel says methane hydrates are found only in permafrost on land at about 740 feet (225 meters) or deeper, which is much deeper than any of the observed craters (which are around 50 feet, or 15 meters, deep).

Is alien invasion in the mind of Israel Defense Forces (IDF)? Jerusalem Post recently reported that this is precisely what they have been preparing.

Extraterrestrial life and alien invasion ideas have been here on Earth for many decades. In fact, they have been the subjects of many science fiction books, novels, and movies for decades. The War of the Worlds novel by H.G. Well left many people believed that a Martian invasion was about to happen.

While Martian invasion is no longer the center when it comes to alien invasion idea, many still believe that extraterrestrial invasion will occur in the near future, and the alien race may not be necessarily coming from Mars.

But the concept appears not only embraced by science fiction writers and UFO believers because it is now being used in government and military procedures. The Israel Defense Forces included the concept in their recent training exercise that appeared to center the idea of the spacecraft of alien beings invading planet Earth.

The training exercise is designed for programming unit of Israeli Air Force. However, the commander of the operation said that the alien invasion part of the training was just a framing story. The goal is to make the participants understand the importance of creating cyber defense. According to the commander, they were adapting the Generation Y, which enjoys challenges, in their training. For this reason, according to the commander, they prepared the framing story of an extraterrestrial invasion.

A system was developed for the participating soldiers to hack. The instruction was to find out all information about the fake alien spacecraft in order to develop a robust cyber defense system.

The Israel Defense Forces might be merely using an alien invasion story for a serious training exercise, but not all peopletake the idea lightly. In Hawaii, a UFO landing pad was developed to promote peaceful relations with space aliens.

New UFO sighting has allegedly been seen over a volcano in Japan, adding to the mounting UFO sightings associated with volcanos around the world.

Recently, a video appeared online showing a potential UFO sighting hovering over the Sakurajima volcano in Japan.

“This round glowing UFO was caught on live cam recording the Sakurajima volcano in Japan. This glowing orb is massive in scale and may be heading to a secret entrance around the mouth of the volcano,” theorizes Scott Waring on UFO Sightings Daily.

There are many wild theories as to why UFO sightings seem to increase around volcanoes.

“It’s a well-known fact that UFOs frequently are seen coming and going from volcanos, but 90% the sightings happen around active volcanos. The smoke, gasses and activity is used to discourage humans from coming too close.”

And true to form, there are many volcanos around the world that attract UFO sighting reports, particularly Popocatepetl in Mexico.

A recent UFO sightings video was captured on December 15 over the Popocatepetl volcano in Mexico. In the video, you can allegedly make out two “orbs” floating around the volcano.

The fact that a strange ‘clicking’ radio transmission seems to be coming from inside the comet – sounding eerily like a Predator’s jaws opening and closing – has just stoked the fires of conspiracy theorists, just as the Rosetta craft’s Philae Lander touches down.

Explore the internet too long, and you’ll be firmly convinced Ming the Merciless and Darth Vader are enjoying a final Martini inside before obliterating our planet, and using us all as sex-slaves in the brothel-pits of Proxima Centauri.

Nigel Watson, author of the Haynes UFO Investigations Manual says there are five main ‘theories’ as to what the rock might REALLY be.

To any UFO enthusiast, the idea that it might just be a lump of ice is preposterous, an obvious cover-up and frankly boring. Here’s what they REALLY believe…

UFO Sightings Daily excitedly proclaimed that it was a UFO armada, largely on the evidence of a small piece of rubbish down one side, and a beacon-ish thing (a rock) showing that there were UFOs parked inside ready for some annoying space probe to goad them into fury.

No one has seen any UFOs – but if there are aliens lurking within, they may well be habitual litterbugs.

There is some form of mothership in there!

Philae could have company on the surface (Picture: Rex)

A picture of a disc-shaped UFO swooping past the comet in September led the more certifiable members of the UFO community to conclude that there was some sort of parking bay for saucers inside the flying rock 300 million miles from Earth. There is however, no diesel or unleaded pumps, mor a Wild Bean Cafe or KFC.

NASA is secretly leading us to an alien base

NASA has detected a radio signal from inside this rock for 20 years (Picture Rex)

‘One blogger suggested that the whole reason for this multi-million pound project is to search for alien life or even contact it, as it did not make sense to spend so much on just visiting a lifeless ‘rock,’ Watson says.

Why an alien tourist might have chosen to spend four billion years sitting inside a featureless lump of ice is another question…

Watson says, ‘Lots of UFO bloggers point out that NASA has received radio transmissions from the comet for 20 years, and that instead of being a comet it is in actual fact an ancient spaceship.’ Imagine the sort of mood Darth’ll be in if you wake him up before he gets his beauty sleep…’

Mexico, there have been sightings of unusual objects flying into and around an active volcano named Popocatépetl, which is the Aztec word for “Smoking Mountain”. There were numerous explosions that produced ash clouds on Oct. 25, the same day of the UFO event, reports Open Minds TV. Among the sightings, there is one that captured popular attention. A brightly illuminated, cigar-shaped object was filmed by the Mexican media company Televisa.

According to International Business Times, Televisa caught the alleged UFO image on a fixed camera that is used to monitor the volcano’s daily activity, located about 40 miles south of Mexico City.

Popocatepetl volcano area is known for UFO sightings and this video of a clear, cylindrical and elongated UFO comes right on the heels of a very similar Kentucky UFO sighting. There is, however, some questioning surrounding the authenticity of this particular Popocatepetl footage and I feel we are responsible for doing our due diligence in ruling out all possible forgeries.

“There’s a tendency to quickly sign off on the video’s legitimacy. The problem is that, at this moment, we don’t have an exact pedigree detailing the video’s original source and the hands through which it has passed,” said former FBI Special Agent Ben Hansen.

“It seems fairly obvious that the audio of the rumbling volcano accompanying the news story was dubbed in,” Hansen, the lead investigator of the Syfy Channel’s “Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files” series, told The Huffington Post in an email.

But despite the suspicion raised regarding the cylindrical UFO footage, Popocatepetl has quite a history of strange activity, another UFO was captured by a news camera early Thursday, November 8thBy the mere definition of the term UFO, we can indeed conclude these are unidentified flying objects. But this begs an even grander question, what makes Popocatepetl volcano a hotspot for this activity? There is a staggering amount of evidence and eye witness accounts telling us that our skies are populated with strange activity that defies conventional understanding and if these sightings are authentic, why this volcano? Below are some postulations I have gathered that I feel deserve our attention. You will also find a list of sources I referencedso you can further your own investigation and reach your own conclusions.

Many ancient traditions talk about the sun as being the doorway to the higher realm where the sun gods came from. They talk about the black hole in the center of our galaxy as the hub, the central sun from which you can access all of the stars in the galaxy.

The Sun Gods must have been “Sun Gods” for a reason. They were called “Sun Gods” in all ancient civilisations: Egyptian, Mayan, Chinese, and so on. The reason that they were called “Sun Gods” was that they used stars as gateways to go from one side of the galaxy to the other. That is why, for instance, the ancient traditions in most of these countries talk about the sun as the “doorway” to the higher places where The Sun Gods come from. So you would enter the sun and then, through to the galactic center, out one of the arms of the galaxy, out one of the sun in another arm of the galaxy

Sunspots appear where the sun becomes very active, usually at the 19.47 degree latitude. Nassim Harameindiscovered, contrary to prior opinion, that sun spots reflect fire being sucked into a collapsing black hole while emitting steam (H2O). Nassim also noted that multiple sun spots always occur in opposite polarity. When you have a vortex going one way in the Coriolis Effect you have another going on at another point on the opposite side. They generate a link at the middle and that link is the singularity. Sun spots are huge vortices going toward singularity at the center of the black hole. That’s why you see fire being sucked in. What’s being shot out? Water (steam)!

Popocatepetl volcano is approximately located at 19.47 degrees latitude

“Sun spots” of the Earth

If you were a society that had ships at the size of the earth, you would not be able to go into a small black hole like the earth. Your ship would be too big for that planet. So you go for the next fractal level of black holes. You would go for the sun. But if you were using a smaller ship and you want to go through the black hole of the earth, then you would find that black hole by going through the “sun spots” of the earth. These “sun spots” would be the volcanoes that you find on earth. The volcanoes might not be what we think they are. The most active volcanoes on earth are at 19.47 latitude. Most volcanoes have a large amount of UFO activity. The volcanoes at 19.47 latitude in Mexico have so much UFO activity, that the Mexican government has started to train pilots so that they know where the UFO activity is and be able to avoid them when they are approaching Mexico City for landing. Also Mexicans tipically sit on their porch at night and look at the UFO’s coming in and out of the volcanoes.

“Today the main headlines of local newspapers Milenio and Extramex present a photograph of an unknown luminous flying object over the erupting volcano Popocatepetl located near from Mexico City and Puebla. The spectacular photograph taken by reporter Alfonso Reyes last tuesday 19 at 6:10 AM while making a report of the gigant violent awakening present a bright luminous object that contrast with the black clouds of smoke emanated from the volcano crater. The photo was taken in a 20 seconds exposure time and a 24 mm angular lens according to Mr. Reyes testimony.”

“Dozens of witnesses have recorded sightings on video and photographs of UFOs going in and out of – or circling Mt. Popocatepetl often before an eruption. Mexico takes us to myths about 2012 - as an end time date and the return of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent God. One legend has it that he lives beneath the volcano in a subterranean city. Another says that he flew off in a spaceship saying he will return one day. That goes with the ‘returning god hypothesis’, at the end of time.”

The Planetary Merkaba and Hyperdimensional Physics

Why is the storm known as the Great Red Spot on Jupiter appearing at 19.5 degrees and never goes away? Why is the largest volcano on Mars, Olympus Mons, at 19.5 degrees latitude? Could it be the same reason Hawaii is also at 19.5 degrees latitude on Earth? Why does Jupiteremit more energy than it receives from the Sun? All these events may be explained by Richard Hoagland’s theory of Hyperdimensional Physics (HD).(8)The effects of Hyperdimensional Physics become prevalent when a body is a state of rotation. Let me emphasize: rotation, rotation, rotation. According to the hyperdimensional model, as a sphere rotates the hyperdimensional properties can be seen as a tetrahedron, the simplest 3D shape, circumscribed within the sphere. If the point of one tetrahedron is at the pole of the sphere the other points would intersect at approx. 19.47 or 19.5 degrees latitude. After Hoagland had done extensive analysis of the Cydonia region of Mars where the infamous “face” was discovered, he found that 19.5 had been memorialized everywhere or like in the novel Contact, a message may have been given to us, in the form of mathematical equations.(8)The area we shall be focusing upon is between 19-20° North and 98-100° West. Within it we find Tenochtitlan which once existed exactly on the 19.5° latitude, and nearby it are Teotihuacan as well as the Popocatepetl and Iztacihuatl volcano's. It is the exact placement of their Pyramid centers nearby to these volcano's that is worth our attention.(9)

Tetrahedron

This geometrical shape is made up of 2 interlocking Tetrahedrons

A Tetrahedron is 1 of 5 perfect solids (the platonic solids). When a Star Tetrahedron is placed inside the Earth and 2 of its points aligned to the N. and S. poles, the remaining 6 (3 North and 3 South) points touch the surface of the Earth at 19.5° North and South of the Equator.(9)

When 1 of the 19.5° N. points of the Star Tetrahedron is aligned to Tenochtitlan, the remaining 5 points all pin point strong volcanic activity, either as Volcano Islands, a Desert Volcano, or an Underwater Volcano.(9)

Could 1947 Just Have Happened Again? Reports Just Tonight! Original Correspondence As Follows Submitted To Thirdphaseofmoon! Quote Mark “Apparently a disc shaped craft was seen crashing through the ice on the lake, at least one person got photographic evidence but has since been detained by the Canadian military. UFO crash in rural Manitoba Canada: A UFO crash landed into a frozen lake within the last 24 hours on a Indian reservation in rural Manitoba.

“I have contact with a former resident of the reservation and their family still lives on the reservation and informed them about the situation this evening.

I have also been informed that nobody is allowed to leave or enter the reservation at this time and that the military has been going door to door talking with residents. They are telling the residents that they are conducting emergency training exercises, but there has been an extreme cold front in Manitoba over the last 2 days and it is extremely dangerous to spend time outdoors for any period.

The military has moved in all their equipment effectively blocking any view of what may have crashed into the water or what they are doing there, but I’m sure they are recovering the evidence.

I will get back in touch with in a few hours, I was told the name of the reservation but it was very long and hard to pronounce, I will get the exact spelling of the reservation in a few hours when I meet with my contact and I will forward any new information over.”

When you get up above the earth, you look down and begin to see shapes. Many are made naturally and others are ancient sites, usually circular. The ones in South Africa (below) were dated around 300,000 years!

What did this shape mean to the ancients? It is repeated in clusters like grapes, with a lines bisecting it, in consecutive circle within circle and spiral forms.

COSTA MESA CALIFORNIAI would carpool with my husband each workday for college. He would work in his office and I would grab a bit of sleep as it was still very early and before my classes started. It was 4 AM when I was putting down my seat as usual to take my nap.

It was dark in the parking lot, I put my blanket over myself and closed my eyes and felt a presence. I can’t say if I heard anything but I just felt something there perhaps the figures cast a slight shadow. I turned onto my back to look out the window and suddenly I could not move or scream. I saw 2 figures that appeared like the grays I have heard of.

They were a little taller than the car. They had a light gray and smooth flesh appearance. I could not move my head so I could not look at their bodies much but to see their heads. I was caught by their eyes. Very dark and deep looking and had the almond shape.

The shape of their heads was elongated and larger than their bodies. An metal cold cylindrical instrument with a needle on the end of it, was coming through the window at me and it started entering my head. The area at the instrument at the window seemed almost like melted glass if I could find words for it. I wanted to move away from it but couldn’t move at all.

It hurt like a searing, burning intense pain. I was thinking my thoughts to them, “stop, go away, don’t” but they didn’t communicate with me in any way that I remember. I was terrified! I just wanted them to stop what they were doing. It felt as if that tool that had a needle with a long handle had gone into my sinuses above my right ear.

I couldn’t believe it seemed as though it was going through the metal and the glass of the car and into my head! How? I could not move at all but for my eyes and that seemed to be a bit limited? The tool retracted instantly and they were gone as quickly as they appeared.

I could move again. I was out of that car so fast and into my husbands office so fast! I was now hysterically telling him what just happened and he thought that I had just had a nightmare but it was very real. I had not had time to go to sleep.

I have had sinus issues and have since gone out on permanent disability. I had a sinus surgery and they told me that they found rat cells? I asked how that could be? The doctor changed the subject and never did answer me.

I feel that it had to have come from that time in the parking lot. I have had pain in that same area of my head off and on since that attack. I get a searing pain that I can’t really even think when it happens. I call them attacks.

I don’t know what they did but I don’t like them at all! They have caused me a lot of continued pain. For me the object was the tool they sent into my head as I did not see any craft.

Recently photographed UFOs have been regularly reported

Slideshow: a collection of photographs that show an unnatural orange light moving across the Saugatuck Reservoir in Nov., 2013. Each picture is an eight-second exposure, taken one-after-another, meaning each photograph shows the distance traveled by the light in eight seconds. (Note: an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the time-lapse pictures were taken in October.)

In the fall of 1966, a dentist driving down Route 53 through Redding and Weston noticed something unexplainable hovering over the Saugatuck Reservoir.

The dentist, Dr. Harry Neilsen of Darien, later described what he saw as “a large, triangular glow bearing red and white lights” just above the horizon near the large reservoir, a news wire service reported in December of that year.

This event would prove to be the first of many published reports of strange, often red-orange lights in the skies above both Redding and Weston. The reports, found in old newspaper articles and on UFO reporting sites, have been compiled and today, almost 50 years since the first report, Hersam Acorn Newspapers has what may be the first photographic evidence of the phenomenon.

Taken in November and December of 2013, the digital photographs by Wilton Bulletin reporter Christopher Burns show an unnatural orange light moving horizontally and slowly just above the tree-line on the southeast side of the Saugatuck Reservoir, near the Easton/Weston town line.

The light is so bright in the photographs that a clear reflection of it can be seen in the water of the reservoir.

Out of the ordinary

Andrew Flynn, a Reddingite who was with Mr. Burns while he took the pictures, said the light was bright and immediately unfamiliar.

“Living just outside of New York City, planes and helicopters are seen quite often. When I first saw this light I was with a group of people and it was immediately identified as something out of the ordinary,” Mr. Flynn said.

And it didn’t happen just once, Mr. Flynn said. During the winter of 2013, he “continued to see it time and time again.”

The Saugatuck Reservoir was constructed in the late 1930s on the site of a hamlet known as Valley Forge. In the 1700s, Valley Forge was made up of farms and swampland. In the 19th Century, the village was a vital industrial center, boasting iron and steel mills and factories along the Saugatuck River.

But in the early part of the 20th Century, Bridgeport Hydraulic Company bought up most of the land, dammed the Saugatuck River and flooded the valley to create the reservoir to serve the city of Bridgeport to the south.

The majority of the reservoir is located in Weston, where 75% of the town’s land is protected from development in perpetuity. In fact, the entire eastern shore of the reservoir borders Centennial State Forrest, where no development has been allowed.

A map shows the point on the reservoir where the photos were taken, and the estimated location of the lights. (Click the maps to enlarge)

Historical sitings

In addition to the 1966 lights siting, a string of Redding Pilot articles from the mid-1970s report a very similar phenomenon.

“Moving in a straight path across the sky was a large yellow globe, the brightest thing in the clear evening. It moved from west to east above the tree line at a fairly good speed and then disappeared over the horizon,” one Pilot editorial from 1976 reads. “[The woman] explained how the bright sky-thing had kept pace with her car as it moved north into Redding; then it suddenly changed direction and headed east.”

In the editorial account, the light would later return to the home of the woman, where she and her husband saw it hovering again.

Another story in The Pilot, “Encounters Too Close for Comfort” from 1978, goes into even greater detail.

Leon Adams reported seeing a strange light as he drove to work the midnight to 8 a.m. shift in the boiler room at the Gilbert and Bennett Wire Mill in Georgetown.

The article reads, “At first the light was stationary and looked as if it hung directly over the factory, Mr. Adams said, but as he approached it, he realized the UFO was more distant. He estimated its location as above the Saugatuck Reservoir because the brightness lit up the trees … He tried to think of likely explanations for the object, but the light had been too bright, particularly when it began to spin and show colors, to have been a helicopter, a plane, or a search light.”

More recent reports

At least two more Redding Pilot articles from the 1970s discuss strange lights in the skies above Redding, Weston, and even Easton. Such grouped sitings might have beeen written off as the work of a prankster had the orange lights not continued to be reported from that time up until today.

“Last night at 8 p.m. I looked out [of] my living room window and noticed a flashing bright red light low on the horizon a mile or so away over the Devil’s Den area on the Weston/Redding border. It was low in the sky and unusually bright, much brighter than any airplane lights, flashing and drifting very slowly.”

Weston’s Animal Control Officer Mark Harper grew up on the reservoir and often works in the area, but told Hersam Acorn last year that he has never heard of the orange lights.

Weston Police Chief John Troxell, who has been with the Weston Police Department for 34 years, said he can’t recall any reports regarding lights over the reservoir.

On the other hand, a former Redding Pilot reporter told the newspaper that even 40 years after he saw the lights on BlChampignons snijdenack Rock Turnpike, he still remembers them. The Weston Forum has decided to keep his report anonymous at this time.

“In my mind, definitely UFO(s),” he wrote in an email Feb. 16 of this year. “Years later, someone suggested the possibility they were helicopters from Sikorsky. But they changed direction too quickly and moved way too fast. Never seen anything like it before or since.”

"This is a video I saved from YouTube back in May, 2012. The video was uploaded with the same title, without quotes. I was not able to find the original upload. *I have no further information regarding the origin of this video.* - - - Personally, I've never been able to settle on whether these are even "flying objects," or an unusual but interesting atmospheric effect being created by someone/something. If you look closely, there do seem to be vague silhouettes of what might be buildings "above" the mountain range. Or maybe they're other mountain tops? At 0:51, one of the objects exhibits an interesting blinking effect. I don't believe it's CGI, but I'm no expert on that. I've sure as hell never seen anything like it, even online. I'm all ears for explanations, but I'll admit that I tend to lean more toward it being an atmospheric phenomenon. What do you think?"

A woman recorded video of a UFO over Lewisburg, Mississippi in the early morning hours of Thursday, February 26.

The witness, Angela Ashton, says she was in bed when she saw a “bright blinding light” through her large bedroom window just after midnight. She raced outside with her camera to record the unusual aerial object.

She describes the UFO as triangle-shaped and extremely large. She thinks the object was “at least the size of a football field.”

The object was completely silent as it hovered for approximately twenty minutes over a nearby field. According to the witness, the UFO then shot straight up into the sky and disappeared. Unfortunately, the disappearance wasn’t captured on video. Ashton says she only managed to capture a few seconds of video because it was cold outside.

Local NBC affiliate WMC-TV contacted purported drone expert Robert Estes for his opinion. After watching Ashton’s video, Estes doesn’t believe the object in the video is a drone because most drones “don’t have lights like you see in the video.”

Estes also opined that the UFO could simply be a plane.

But Ashton, who is a “certified Paranormal Investigator” with Cryptic Shadows Paranormal Research, and claims to have researched UFOs for more than fifteen years, is convinced that what she observed was extraterrestrial.

UFO Buzzes Nuclear Plant In Mexico, Latest Of Many UFOs Seen Hovering At Nuke Facilities

A UFO filmed hovering over nuclear power plant in Veracruz, Mexico, and posted to YouTube November 7 is just the latest in a long series of UFO sightings over and near nuclear facilities — as history of ominous sightings that stretches back six decades, to the earliest days of nuclear energy production.

The UFO video from Laguna Verde Nuclear Power Plant, a 24-year-old nuke owned and operated by the Mexican government, was purportedly shot with a cell phone camera on November 5 by an engineer at the power plant. The 91-second-long video, viewable above, definitely shows something hovering over the nuclear reactors. But what?

While technically a UFO because the object is “unidentified” and flying, speculation among commenters on the video’s YouTube page, which as received more than 40,000 views so far, ranges from “toy,” to “party balloon,” to the more sinister “Russian spy thing.” By “thing,” the commenters mean a drone, that is, an unmanned aircraft of some kind. But a drone could be anything from a harmless toy to a military surveillance or attack aircraft.

Or is the video simply a hoax? So far, no experts have examined the Mexican UFO video closely enough to weigh in. Of course, some viewers of the video see it as an authentic recording of an alien spacecraft. Scott Waring, of the popular UFO Sighting Daily blog, speculates that “aliens are interested in our technological advances and how we make energy, while impacting the Earth with pollution.”

Another possibility, Waring believes, is that he video shows a damaged alien spacecraft “harvesting” energy from the Laguna Verde nuke to “get home.” While Waring’s speculation will likely be taken with a grain of nuclear powered salt by most observers, the fact remains that nuclear power plants have been unusually common sites for UFO sightings.

The phenomenon dates back to 1950, when a number of scientists working on a then-secret nuclear energy project at Los Alamos spotted a disc-shaped UFO zig-zagging across the sky at an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Two years later, similar UFO sightings were reported UFOs hovering over newly-built nuclear plants in Washington and South Carolina.

More recently, a 2012 UFO video from Mexico was also captured at a nuclear power plant. And in April of this year, a series of UFO sightings were reported at McGuire Nuclear Station in North Carolina.

The Salem Nucelar Power Plant in New Jersey has also been the site of numerous UFO sightings, which like all UFO incidents, may have an innocent explanation, but one has not yet been forthcoming.

AMAZING PHOTO OF A TRIANGLE CRAFT OVER VALLEY FORGE PENNSYLVANIA JANUARY 7, 2015

VALLEY FORGE PENNSYLVANIA On this particular evening I was driving home from work.

Because of where I live, I always take Gulph Rd through Valley Forge Park to and from work. I was driving NW on Gulph Rd towards Phoenixville away from King of Prussia, when I noticed three very bright lights just over the tree line in the distance (I think I noticed them just about the time I passed the Washington Memorial Chapel).

The lights were side by side. At first glance it looked to be an airplane of some sort. But as I drove closer I realized whatever it was, was too bright and too low to be a plane.

I actually started to think that maybe they had built a tower in the park with lights at the top of it, but I knew that wasn’t logical because I would have seen this tower/monument by now. I also started to realize that whatever it was, wasn’t stationary.

It was moving, but slowly. When I was finally back on a straight part of the road, I had decided that this was just too weird and started snapping pictures. As I got closer it was more apparent to me that this wasn’t a plane or a helicopter.

I considered pulling over, but had someone behind me. It was also very dark and 17 degrees outside. But after my car had finally passed the lights (I couldn’t describe anything beyond that because of how bright the three lights were) I decided to look back at it out my driver side window.

This is when I realized that it was literally just above the tree line and shaped like a Triangle. Once I was past the lights I could distinguish the shape vividly.

After my experience I was a little shaken up. I called my mom, who thought I was just pulling her leg. But after I sent her the pictures, she was convinced. She even went as far as to research sightings in Valley Forge. She came up with two interesting stories.

One, was of George Washington, who had reported witnessing a UFO in the now park. And a few years ago someone else had reported a very similar story to mine, which made me feel less crazy. I have been living in the area for almost 5 years now, and I visit the park often.

I know this park in and out. I know what the planes flying overhead look like. And I’ve seen my fair share of helicopters and drones. This to me was just so weird and unexplainable.

It took me almost a week to even send in my story.

I’m open-minded about unexplainable events, but I personally do not come to conclusions without thinking about it first.

Even if this was totally explainable, it was still weird and definitely a story worth sharing.

The reporting witness was 9 years old at the time she saw a black, vertical, rectangle hovering above, just south of where she and her cousin stood. Pictured: Markham, Ontario, Canada. (Credit: Google)

A Canadian witness at Markham, Ontario, recalled a daylight sighting from the spring of 1987 where an object described as a “black door” hovered in the sky, according to testimony in Case 63531 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The reporting witness was a 9-year-old in 1987 playing with her cousin in a field behind her home during daylight hours with a clear sky.

“I looked up at the sky and saw a black, vertical, rectangle hovering above, just south of where we stood,” the witness stated. “I remember looking over at my cousin who was also staring at it and asked her if she saw it too. She said yes.”

The witness described the object.

“We both thought it looked like a black door or doorway. We stared at it for several minutes waiting to see what would happen. It barely moved, although it did appear to be shaking or vibrating slightly.”

The witnesses’ mother called from their backyard asking the kids to come inside for dinner.

“We left the field and the ‘black door’ and went back to my house. We never discussed it with my parents and I’ve never seen anything like it since.”

The witness is hoping someone has a similar incident to share.

“The reason why I decided to share my story is because I want to know if anyone else has a similar story to mine or can shed some light on what we saw. Recently I asked my cousin if she remembered what we saw in the field behind my house when we were kids. She responded immediately saying, ‘Do you mean the door in the sky? I’ll never forget it!’”

The witness said the black rectangle was hovering between 75-100 yards above the ground.

The object was shaped like a door and hovered between 75 and 100 yards above the ground. Pictured: Markham, Ontario, Canada. (Credit: Google)

Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Extraterrestrials have been identified through strange shadows in the sky, flying saucers, or even unusual marks left on fields. Countless of UFO sightings have been reported by different individuals around the world over the years. Unidentified flying objects or UFOs have been involved in many conspiracies and controversies. Nobody can actually prove how true they are since nearly all traces disappear throughout the course of history. While many would find UFO and alien stories true, many others are still in doubt. So, how will you know if you see something extraordinary? Here are some incidences that will serve as your reference.

McMinnville UFO (Oregon)

A UFO appeared on the lens of the camera from an Oregon farmer couple in May 1950. According to wife Evelyn Trent, she first saw the object before it sped off out of their view. Evelyn described the object as a silvery, metallic disk.

Most UFO sightings happened near US Air Force bases, so it has been many times mentioned in UFO sighting reports. Perhaps, the most popular until today is still the Edward’s Air Force Base Sighting. An astronaut, at the same time a test pilot, filmed a classic saucer. The UFO was a silver and a smooth saucer that was approximately 30 feet in diameter. It had 3 legs that believed to be a landing gear. However, as the witness was about to submit the photo, it apparently disappeared.

A group of friends claimed they saw glowing, diamond shaped object that was about the size of a water tower blocking their way. Known as the Piney Woods Sighting, it brought emotional, mental and physical trauma to the group due to chemical poisoning in the area. They claimed to have seen helicopters escorting the UFO away from them.

Some have attributed these incidences to government conspiracy, but nobody knows what these occurrences tell, and one can only guess.

An unknown radio signal, which may have come from a black hole, colliding neutron stars (or – for those who ‘believe’ – alien life), has been picked up by astronomers live for the first time ever. Its origins remain mysterious.

The fast radio bursts are quick, bright flashes of radio waves that last only milliseconds, but still emit as much energy as the sun in an entire day.

This is the first time that these radio waves have been spotted live. The first burst was picked up in 2007 by sifting through old data at the Parkes Radio Telescope in Eastern Australia. Only seven others have been seen since then.

This time, the mysterious waves were picked with the use of 12 telescopes in Australia, Chile, Germany, Hawaii, India, California and the Canary Islands.

Because they observed the radio waves in real time, they were also able to try and find other wavelengths, like x-rays or infrared to find out their source…but remained unable to find anything.

“The fact that we did not see light in other wavelengths eliminates a number of astronomical phenomena that are associated with violent events such as gamma-ray bursts from exploding stars and supernovae, which were otherwise candidates for the burst,” Daniele Malesani, of the University of Copenhagen, told Astronomy Magazine.

The radio waves were polarized, which suggests that they were near an object with a large magnetic field.

“The theories are now that the radio wave burst might be linked to a very compact type of object – such as neutron stars or black holes – and the bursts could be connected to collisions or ‘star quakes,’ he added.

The radio signals originated up to 5.5 billion light-years away, from outside our Milky Way Galaxy and that they were caught by astronomers possibly up to a decade after they happened.

The catch took place in May 2014, but the results of the study got published this week in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

No one knows where exactly such waves come from, or what causes them. Astronomers have postulated that the mysterious signals might be emitted by exploding stars or supernovas; a collision of binary neutron stars or binary white dwarf star could also be a source.

One more possible reason could be a blitzar – a supermassive neutron star that should have become a black hole, but is spinning so fast that it is temporarily prevented from collapsing.

“We found out what it wasn’t. The burst could have hurled out as much energy in a few milliseconds as the Sun does in an entire day. But the fact that we did not see light in other wavelengths eliminates a number of astronomical phenomena that are associated with violent events such as gamma-ray bursts from exploding stars and supernovae, which were otherwise candidates for the burst,” Malesani said.

Having set “the trap,” the team is now waiting to catch another burst and maybe get some answers to the mystery.

In5D Addendum

There are a number of things that come to mind when I posted this article. Could these radio waves be coming from an intelligent life form? Is it possible that they’re being emitted from Saturn (aka Satan in astrotheology)? Do they have anything to do with the collapse of the matrix? Are they possibly distress signals from the ongoing Orion Wars, signifying an end to universal tyranny?

One thing we can be sure of is that science çand the mainstream media will write this off as “nothing to see here”.

Kepler Space Telescope captured tens of thousands of stars in the constellation of Cygnus and Lyra

SETI was founded 20 years ago to monitor the cosmos for signals of alien life and involves astrophysicists from institutions like Harvard University and the University of California. However as early 1960 scientists were scanning space for clues to other civilizations.

Douglas Vakoch, the Director of Interstellar Message Composition at the SETI Institute, said we should now start devising a message to send to planets which have recently been discovered in the "goldilocks zone" – areas of space where it is neither too hot nor too cold for life to exist.

Kepler-186f, the first validated Earth-size planet to orbit a distant star in the habitable zone

"For over a half century, scientists engaged in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence have sought evidence of the existence of other civilizations by searching for intentional radio signals," he said

"As we move into the next half century we should expand our strategies, so we are not only passively listening, but also transmitting intentional, information-rich signals.

"With recent detections of Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of other stars, we have natural targets for such transmission projects.

"We should repeatedly target a set of nearby stars over the course of several months or years.”

The Kepler Telescope

NASA’s Kepler Telescope has so far found more than 3,800 planets in habitable zones which could hold liquid water, and life. Experts say targeting them with a signal is the best hope of making contact with new worlds.

However the content of a message has been hotly debated. To find out what humans would like to say to aliens, SETI founded a site called Earth Speaks and asked people to devise an interstellar message.

The smallest-ever planet outside our solar system has been spotted by NASA's Kepler space telescope - a rocky planet similar in size to the Earth

While women tended to offer friendship, and even coffee and biscuits in their missives, men were more likely to talk about science and inquire about their civilisation. Overall the main theme was asking for help from aliens rather than seeking to impart the wisdom of Earth.

Mr Vakoch said humans have a "cosmic inferiority complex" and automatically assume that extra-terrestrials will be more technologically advanced than us and so have nothing to learn.

But he added: "Humankind has a range of experiences and insights that cannot be imagined by any other civilization.

"Though extraterrestrials may be more technologically advanced we are, they will never be more human. It’s the breadth of our human experience that we should be conveying in our interstellar messages."

The experts at SETI say that governments must start working together to devise the message. The equipment to send basic messages already exists and scientists say that reluctance ‘more political than technical.’

Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer and Director, Center for SETI research, said some people resisted the approach, fearing it could alert our presence to dangerous extra-terrestrial races.

"It’s very controversial,” he said, “There are some people who think this might be dangerous.

"The idea that you are somehow endangering Earth I don’t think holds any water because we have been broadcasting into space willy nilly since the Second World War – televisions, FM radio and radar.

"These signals have been going into space for 70-somethng years so they are quite far out and any society that could come to Earth and incinerate Belgium, if they think they deserve it, is fully capable of picking up these broadcasts.”

But he admits that it is a gamble whether visiting aliens will come in peace.

“Nobody knows if they are friendly or not,” he added.

“You could be optimistic and think they are all friendly or figure they are like ones in the movies and hellbent on destruction. I suspect there is a whole range.

“Earth has been sitting around for 4 billion years with life on it and nobody’s thought to destroy it.

“It may be they want to proseltyse. The other thing is that they are just interested in the culture – that’s what’s special about us. Maybe they are interested in rock ‘n’ roll. Maybe they want Cliff Richard.”

However American scientist and futurist David Brin believes it is a mistake to try and contact alien worlds.

"We are the youngest of all technological races in the cosmos, like an orphan child who suddenly finds herself wandering a strange jungle that’s quiet, too quiet,” he said.

"Perhaps you have the kind of personality that says: "What the heck! I might as well shout and see what happens!"

"That’s all very well if the only one you are putting at risk is yourself. But when that risk is also imposed upon our children -- all of humanity and our planet – is it too much to ask that we discuss it first?"

The scientists were speaking at the annual Association for the Advancement of Science AAAS annual conference in San Jose.

Well...here we go again. Another round of pleas that our government disclose what they know about UFOs and extraterrestrial life. The political parties have started the process of whittling down their nominees for president...thus, the question of disclosure becomes a part of the rhetoric.

But, of course, some of us realize that it will never happen. Better stated, a true disclosure will never be offered to the public...unless it become so obvious that there really are non-terrestrial beings and advanced interstellar craft. Then an announcement of some kind may be forthcoming.

I found the following article this morning:

Push is on for 'comprehensive' extraterrestrial hearings on Capitol Hill

We’ve recently seen a drone crash a congressional hearing on drones, but what would happen if there was a hearing on extraterrestrial life?

Stephen Bassett, executive director of Paradigm Research Group and founder of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee would like to find out.

While he’s pushed for congressional hearings on the topic in the past, Bassett is launching a new effort to overcome the “truth embargo” about the government’s involvement with alien life forms.

It comes in the form of “The Congressional Hearings Initiative.”

“Once this evidence is properly looked at, the way it should be, any reasonable person will come to the same conclusion,” Bassett told Roll Call.

Bassett is flooding approximately 180 members of Congress with meeting requests.

And if Basset gets his way, he doesn’t just want some skimpy meeting done for show.

“The goal is to get one of the committees to commit for comprehensive hearings,” Basset said. “Not three witnesses, come up [to] the Hill for half a day and give ’em a spiel. I’m talking about 25, 30, 35 witnesses, at least, testifying over a week, two weeks if possible. The reason is we’ve got those witnesses and the issue is not an issue that you can dispense with something trivial.”

Two people Bassett should get in his corner: John Podesta, President Barack Obama’s counselor, and former President Bill Clinton.

Considering Podesta’s comments that his “biggest failure” was not securing the disclosure of UFO files, it’s a natural fit.

And as far as Clinton, he did once tell Jimmy Kimmel that maybe the only way to united the world would be with an alien invasion.

So really, a congressional hearing on extraterrestrial life could also double as a world peace hearing.- Sun Times

So now we should have a former U.S. President and former White House insider 'helping' to find the truth. Mmm...are we to believe that President Clinton never reviewed any information pertaining to UFOs and alien beings while he was in office? The same question goes to John Podesta. Why didn't they make the effort to disclose the information at that time? Yeah, that's right...they wouldn't have dared chance it. I'm sorry that I seem cynical...but this shell-game, in my mind, is absurd.

During the 36th annual Kennedy Center Honors in 2013, President Barack Obama joked that he was making history for going where no president had gone before.

While honoring Oscar-winning actress Shirley MacLaine, who claims she has seen UFOs before, including "a mothership", Obama mentioned Area 51, a secret military installation north of Las Vegas that many in ufology believe is home to crashed flying saucers and alien bodies.

"Now, when you first become President, one of the questions that people ask you is, 'what's really going on in Area 51?'" Obama said. "When I wanted to know, I'd call Shirley MacLaine."

"I think I just became the first President to ever publicly mention Area 51," Obama added. "How's that, Shirley?"

I want to state that I truly believe that it is rational to assume that non-terrestrial beings exist and that these beings, in some capacity, may currently inhabit this planet. I have interviewed many experiencers and have seen some incredible evidence as an investigator. I'm totally convinced that humanity is being observed and manipulated by these highly advanced species...a process that has continued for millennia. There has been speculation that our species is a hybrid of human and alien DNA. This may very well be true but it has yet to be to be confirmed scientifically. Then again, our DNA strain may be so ancient that distinct human and alien genes may be impossible to isolate. Nevertheless, this is not what I want to write about at this time.

Since the 1950’s, Hollywood has been producing movies that deal with UFOs and alien beings. Most of the early films were full of hokey costumed creatures, tinfoil covered spacecraft and ridiculous story lines. On the other hand, we were given the impression that these aliens were either malevolent or were here to make sure the human species did not destroy itself.

Eventually, these B-movies science fiction thrillers evolved into high priced, computer enhanced mega productions that garnered millions of fans (ex. ‘Star Wars', ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, etc.). Technology provided instant gratification with the ability for anyone to pop in a tape, then later a DVD, into the player at their convenience. We just sit back, relax and watch in high definition (and sometimes in 3D) wondrous interstellar craft and amazing alien beings interact with our species, either in the present time or long into the future. The plots and stories are a multiplicity of good vs. evil...and everything in between.

Yes...I fell into the same trap. My interest in the UFO and extraterrestrial phenomenon was exacerbated by Hollywood’s magic and the ability to make me wonder if what they portrayed may actually be close to the truth. Whether we are just being entertained or witnessing a primer for what we can expect is the real question. In other words, are we being conditioned...programmed, brainwashed or however you want to phrase it. Are we being made ready for the inevitable?

In the summer of 1996, Twentieth Century Fox released the film Independence Day It projected the tale of an alien mothership with a mass one-fourth of that of the Moon, that entered Earth’s orbit and deployed several dozen saucer-shaped destroyer spacecraft. Each of these craft are 15 miles in width and positioned over some of Earth's major cities. These destroyer craft coordinate and eventually deploy a WMD capable of leveling large cities, as well as dispatching the inhabitants. The U.S. President and most of his Cabinet reach safety at Area 51 where they discover that the aliens had visited Earth previously. Three dead aliens, as well as a complete attack craft, had been recovered and were stored underground. At the end of the day, which happened to be July 4th, the humans figure out how to destroy the aliens worldwide and ultimately become independent again.

‘Independence Day’ was written/directed by Ronald Emmerich and written/produced Don Devlin, the same pair who had previously created the film Stargate Not only did ‘Independence Day’ rejuvenate the science fiction genre in films but visually introduced us to alien forces plotting a strategic and tangible invasion against earth.

In today’s ufology, it’s my opinion that a majority of witness comments and theories, certainly the most well-known accounts, are usually based on film narratives produced in the 90’s and beyond. There are popular notions that predate this period, namely famous UFO crashes and retrievals. But after some analysis it seems the bulk of the modern UFO lore can be traced to the last two decades, as well as to a handful of individuals.

I’m not implying that the UFO and extraterrestrial phenomenon is somehow a myth. As I stated earlier, I believe there are beings of equal or higher intelligence that not only travel to this planet or dimension, but may also inhabit it as well. On the other hand, these beings and their appearance, mannerisms and mode of transportation are most likely not the same as our popular culture describes them. I’ll admit that I am as guilty as others in using some of these popular descriptions when I post on my blog, though I try to avoid it as much as possible.

We can debate the arguments for disclosure and if the world is ready for that reality, but at the end of the day, those arguments are still based on assumptions that still lack credible evidence. Even if there was some evidence that supported the theories that the government had intimate knowledge of alien beings, disclosing the existence or visitation to our planet of non-human entities would certainly qualify as a ‘world after’ event (ex. ‘world after 9/11’). I think the government knows more about UFOs and alien beings than it publicly acknowledges, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are covering up secret agreements, underground bases, genetic hybridization or any knowledge of where extraterrestrials come from.

Those people who are interested and involved in the study of UFOs and extraterrestrials need to look at the logical evidence that is provided and not compare it to the computer generated flash and stories used for entertainment. As well, an absolute need for disclosure serves only as security for our conscience. Real disclosure will not be on human terms. Disclosure will be on their terms, the non-terrestrials, whether we can accept that or not...Lon

25/02/2015 - Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the sighting

For all UFO enthusiast and UFOologists alike, today is the 73rd anniversary of the Battle Of Los Angeles otherwise known as The Great LA Air raid, which has gone down history as the most mysterious events of World War II.

Back in 1942 on this very day, Los Angeles was panic stricken by an invasion of what was believed to be a Japanese aircraft hovering over the city. The US army reacted by firing 1400 shells into the skies but to no avail, no aircraft was ever recovered.

Nobody really knew what they had just seen, there was no evidence of downed craft, there where some explanations that centred around weather balloons, but that would have been feasible if there had been material of that kind recovered.

The other explanation was that it could well have been ships of extraterrestrial origin. In the original Times photograph, the picture show glowing round spheres hovering int he night sky, the incident ignited the Americas first ever UFO sighting by mass public eyes, and this was even before the 1947 Roswell crash.

Nick Pope, Ex employee British Government's Ministry of Defence told Neon Nettle: "Believers think this was nothing short of an alien invasion, while skeptics say it was a combination of mass hysteria and war nerves, with people shooting at balloons. Whatever the truth, it shows that people can and do see and film UFOs not just in remote areas, but over major cities".

Amazingly, since the sighting all those years back, there is still no rational explanation. To mark the anniversary, the UFO world have been treated to a trailer for the UFO Diary today. The Full version of UFO Diary is set to be released soon and will feature special effects from Antony Vannapho (The Twilight Saga), Kiel Figgins (Avengers: Age of Ultron) Sean Dollins (Prometheus), Rini Sugianto (The Hunger Games), Delano Athias (Polis), Bren Wilson (Paradise Lost) and many others.

The question still remains, however, did a UFO(s) really hover above Los Angeles all those years ago? Its is something to think about.

Date: June 24, 1947Location: Near Mt. Rainier, Washington, United States

The modern phenomena of UFOs and “flying saucers” began in Washington state on June 24, 1947, when Kenneth Arnold spotted nine mysterious, high-speed objects “flying like a saucer would” along the crest of the Cascade Range near Mount Rainier. His report made international headlines and triggered hundreds of similar accounts of “flying saucers” locally and across the nation.

You will not find any conventional history book that even so much as mentions that on this date the human race first became aware of a phenomenon that could well be the most important discovery of the last century, or even in the history of mankind: the presence of "Other Intelligences" (Non-Human Intelligence). This document, the "ultimate Arnold" history and analysis, is an edited and updated version of my presentation at the 1997 MUFON Symposium.

Kenneth Arnold, FATE Magazine, Spring 1948

The following story of what I observed over the Cascade mountains, as impossible as it may seem, is positively true. I never asked nor wanted any notoriety for just accidentally being in the right spot at the right time to observe what I did. R

In the Skeptics UFO Newsletter (SKUFON), #46 of July 1997 Philip Klass has proposed, in conjunction with Keay Davidson, a new explanation for the flying saucer sighting by Kenneth Arnold. One wonders why it took 50 years for this explanation to be proposed. R

Dr. Bruce S. Maccabee

The June 24, 1947 sighting by private pilot Kenneth Arnold was not really the first recorded UFO sighting. However, it was the first sighting to be publicly reported and it attracted worldwide interest. It also attracted many more than its share of explanations.

Almost three years after the famous June 24, 1947 sighting in the Cascades of the state of Washington, Edward R. Murrow engaged the pilot/witness Kenneth Arnold in a conversation about his historic experience. Portions of that conversation are reproduced here in an exact transcript of the broadcast as it was heard nationwide on the evening of April 7, 1950.

The 50th anniversary of the flying saucer phenomenon is upon us, and thoughts time-warp back to the case that started it all, Kenneth Arnold's sighting of nine objects speeding by Mount Rainier on a sunny June afternoon. R

Martin Kottmeyer

Funny how your life can get turned upside down just because you see something. Kenneth Arnold's story is the story of a pretty straight guy. He was an Eagle Scout when he was a teen-ager. He worked for the Red Cross. He was an All-State football player in high school, with hopes of being a college star until a knee injury cut his football career short.

After college, Arnold became a salesman and learned to fly, combining the two by flying from small town to small town selling fire control equipment, eventually owning the Great Western Fire Control Supply Company. He was a member of the Sheriff's "aerial posse"of Ada County, Idaho, he was a relief U.S. Marshall, and he sometimes flew prisoners to the Federal Penitentiary. Flying his light plane, a Callair, was the basis of his livelihood.

In other words, he was the perfect UFO witness: a solid citizen, honest and trustworthy, married, with two daughters.

On June 24, 1947, he was returning home from a business trip when he made a detour into the Yakima, Washington area to help in an aerial search for a missing C-46 marine transport plane that was believed to have gone down in the area.

At around 3:00 in the afternoon, he was flying at about 9,000 feet, near Mount Rainier, when a flash of light caught his eye. He turned and saw a procession of nine very strange objects flying from north to south in front of his plane. They were flat and rather heel-shaped, very shiny, and they moved erratically, like a "saucer would if you skipped it across water." You can see Arnold's drawing of what he saw here. Arnold estimated their size at about two-thirds that of a DC-4, and he calculated their speed at over 1500 mph by timing their travel between two mountain peaks of known distance.

When he arrived at Yakima, Washington, Arnold told several other pilots about his sighting. The consensus among them was that it was some type of military "secret weapon". However, Arnold would later find that the U.S. military was as mystified by the objects as he himself was.

In Pendleton, Oregon, Arnold went to make a report to the FBI, but the local office was closed, so he talked to the editor of the East Oregonian newspaper instead and it was the editor who put the story on the newswires. Because of Arnold's background and reliability as a witness, the story got wide circulation. Here's Arnold's report in his own words.

What did Arnold see? Skeptics said everything from clouds to blowing snow on the mountain, to droplets of water on his airplane window. Here Martin Kottmeter shoots down some of the early theories of what Arnold saw. More recent explanations include Phil Klass' meteorite fragments and James Easton's white pelicans.

The June sighting and the resulting hoopla were not the end of Arnold's association with UFOs. On July 5th, 1947, Arnold was introduced to Captain E. J. Smith, who, along with his co-pilot and a stewardess, had seen a formation of UFOs over Emmett, Idaho. They hit it off well and became good friends.

In the middle of July, Arnold received a letter from Raymond Palmer, editor of the pulp magazine Amazing Stories. Arnold didn't know who Palmer was, since he didn't read the pulps. Palmer wanted Arnold to write down his experiences for publication in the magazine and he offered to pay. Arnold didn't particularly care about the money and sent Palmer a copy of what he had already told the newspapers and the Army Air Corps.

Later in July, a couple of Army Air Force intelligence officers named Lt. Frank M. Brown and Capt. William Davidson had a friendly meeting with Arnold. He gave them an account of his sighting and they asked him to report any further incidents to them. Lt. Brown filed a report giving his impression of Arnold's story. Arnold, Smith, Brown, Davidson, and Palmer were later to become involved in the Maury Island hoax.

Between 1982 and 1995, more than seven thousand cases were investigated and documented by a team of investigators led by Philip J. Imbrogno, a high school science teacher and astronomer in Greenwich, Connecticut. The heaviest period was between the end of 1982 and 1986, when more than five thousand people reported seeing the object.

A good, brief overview of the Hudson Valley UFO sightings. "In a place you would hardly expect, just one hour north of New York City, lies the site of one of the most widely observed and yet most unexplainable set of UFO sightings ever seen. R

Philip J.Imbrogno

In the Hudson Valley area alone, there has been more than 7,000 reports of UFOs over the past seven years. To my surprise many people in the area felt that they had contact with a non-human intelligence from another world. R

Huge triangular or V-shaped UFOs have been reported countless times throughout the world over the past thirty to forty years, with one of the most active areas being the Hudson River Valley just north of New York City.

Between 1982 and 1995, more than seven thousand cases were investigated and documented by a team of investigators led by Philip J. Imbrogno, a high school science teacher and astronomer in Greenwich, Connecticut.

The heaviest period was between the end of 1982 and 1986, when more than five thousand people reported seeing the object.

Sometimes called the “Westchester Boomerang” because some of the earliest reports came from Westchester County in New York State, it was huge and often flew close to the ground, so low that gray superstructure could be seen linking numerous multi-colored lights.

Numerous sightings were also reported in neighboring New York counties as well as in nearby Connecticut.

One awed witness, an IBM program manager, said: “If there is such a thing as a flying city, this was a flying city… It was huge.”

It was enormous, awesome and spectacular. It moved slowly and silently and was easily as big as a football field; some witnesses said as big as three football fields. That would make it anywhere from three hundred to nine hundred feet long, far larger than any aircraft manufactured in the world.

Thousands of people, many of them highly educated professionals, went on record as saying that the Boomerang was undeniably very real to them. The great majority of people interviewed had no previous interest in UFOs. They were taken completely by surprise.

FAA DENIED ANYTHING HAPPENED

Many witnesses were separated geographically and were unknown to each other at the time of the sightings. Police records show that countless residents phoned their local police stations in concern, and police officers themselves witnessed this strange spectacle.

From the nation's scientists, to whom these events should have been of breathtaking concern, nothing was heard.

Hundreds of people living in the affluent suburbs within commuting distance of one of the world's largest and most cosmopolitan cities were astonished, awestruck, and frightened by what they could only regard as a very bizarre event. But the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which monitors the air lanes through which the boomerang-shaped object flew repeatedly, persisted in denying its existence.

There may have been more than one object because several times sighting reports came in about the same time from towns some distance apart.

Many times it hovered or moved ever so slowly. Once, a man was able to jog underneath and keep up with it. At times it hovered or drifted very slowly over major expressways, causing traffic to come to a confused halt.

At other times it moved with incredible speed. One husband and wife said it was six stories tall and that it shot off to the far horizon and immediately came back to the same spot in barely a second.

One night, a policewoman sitting in her cruiser watching for speeders was astonished to see a string of white lights in a half-circle hover over her vehicle for twenty seconds. She was so surprised that she never thought to aim her radar gun at it.

UFO FLASHES LIGHT AT CROWD

In another town on another night, a policeman responding to a phone call found ten people standing watching a circle of flashing red, blue and green lights hovering about five hundred feet overhead. The object appeared to be three hundred feet wide.

The officer turned his spotlight on it – and the object immediately projected a brilliant flash of white light down on him and the spectators. Seconds later it shot off out of sight.

On the night of July 24, 1984, twelve security guards watched as a boomerang-shaped object hovered for more than ten minutes directly above one of the reactors of the Indian Point nuclear power plant. This is located on the Hudson River at Buchanan, twenty miles north of Manhattan.

It was so large that one officer had to pan a security camera on the plant’s roof 180 degrees to take in the whole object. Inside the security console, the computer that controlled all the security and communication systems shut down.

The incident was so shocking that the commander contacted a nearby National Guard unit and asked that a helicopter be sent to shoot the object down. Before the action could be carried out, the UFO moved away. Later, authorities denied anything happened.

During the unusually long period of sightings and encounters, numerous witnesses reported having had contact with some kind of extraterrestrial intelligence. More than sixty people said they had had been abducted, with women between the ages of twenty five and thirty representing the largest number of cases.

Philip Imbrogno reported that among witnesses who said they’d had multiple contacts, a very high percentage had B-negative type blood, although what the significance of that is has not yet be determined.

MEDIA REMAINS LARGELY SILENT

Initially, it was thought the Boomerang was seen primarily in the half dozen counties of New York and Connecticut immediately north of New York City. But later it was learned that the object had visited a much larger area to the west, north and east.

Sightings tapered off after the heavy 1982-1986 period but have never stopped. They have continued sporadically ever since.

The United States has perhaps the most extensive, sophisticated and freest mass communications system in the world. Trivial events are often flashed everywhere. Yet, news of this astounding happening was carried on only one network.

The American media has remained largely silent about this spectacular phenomenon, either from ignorance or, more likely, on purpose. Area newspapers, radio and television stations did carry stories, but there was little in the way of national coverage.

The authorities, for the most part, were no help. Some police departments were sympathetic to witnesses and investigators and some weren’t. A few were outright antagonistic.

The FAA denied anything unusual was happening in the skies over the Hudson Valley, even though some air traffic controllers privately acknowledged tracking unknown objects on radar.

Some authorities tried to explain the sightings as simply small planes flying in formation – even at times when strong winds were blowing – and even ultra lights, which rarely fly at night because it is too dangerous and are almost impossible to fly in formation.

Many people believed the Boomerang was a spaceship from another world. Wedo not know. We can only speculate.

It definitely was not a secret weapon, nor a hologram, nor a formation of planes, helicopters or blimps, nor, we believe, anything else man-made. There is no conventional explanation for the Hudson Valley UFO.

We’ve heard it many times – truth is stranger than fiction. But when trying to keep some semblance of normalcy and sanity in a world that continues to show us its more mysterious side, it might do us well to consider that truth includes a broad spectrum of experience, including possible interactions with human looking extraterrestrials.

Preeminent UFO researcher and historian Richard Dolan who’s painstaking research has culminated into several books, including UFOs and the National Security State, volumes 1 and 2 and A.D. – After Disclosure, took the time to depart from his “usual fare” and discuss some of the more perplexing and bizarre aspects to the UFO story. Except none of these incidents involve UFO’s per se, but rather E.T. encounters of the human kind.

During our “out of this world” conversation we discuss:

The bizarre nature of human looking E.T. encounters and the consistencies that exist throughout.

The telepathic link between these beings and those witnesses who can “hear” their thoughts.

More about our guest:

Richard Dolan is one of the world’s leading researchers and writers on the subject of UFOs, and believes that they constitute the greatest mystery of our time.

He is the author of two volumes of history, UFOs and the National Security State, both ground-breaking works which together provide the most factually complete and accessible narrative of the UFO subject available anywhere. He also co-authored a speculative book about the future, A.D. After Disclosure, the first-ever analysis not only of how UFO secrecy might end, but of the all-important question: what happens next?

Richard’s latest work, UFOs for the 21st Century Mind, provides a fresh treatment of the entire subject. In it, he discusses the important sightings, the encounters, the politics, the cover-up, ancient aliens, the bizarre science, disclosure, and offers advice on being both critical and open-minded in today’s world. Like his previous three books, it asks fresh questions and offers new insights to further our understanding of the UFO mystery.

Richard hosts a weekly radio show, The Richard Dolan Show, on KGRA radio, is a frequent guest on Coast-to-Coast AM. He is currently featured on several television series and documentaries, including Ancient Aliens, Hangar One: The UFO Files and Close Encounters. For a longer list of his television appearances, see below.

Prior to his interest in UFOs, Richard completed his graduate work at the University of Rochester, where he studied U.S. Cold War strategy, European history, and international diplomacy. Before that, he had studied at Alfred University and Oxford University, and had been a finalist for a Rhodes scholarship.

But for the past two decades, Richard has been a dedicated student of all things related to UFOs, steadily expanding his interests within that topic from his initial focus on government documents and the cover-up. Now his interests include it all, from the deepest aspects of the coverup, to contact and abduction, the science behind the phenomenon, how the phenomenon has affected world culture, his theory of a breakaway civilization, the possible relationship of artificial intelligence and biotechnology to the UFO phenomenon, and the implications of the end of secrecy, that is, the world After Disclosure.

Today, there is no aspect of the phenomenon Richard won’t study. He continues to look forward to exploring this topic in all its depth, a topic he believes opens our doors of perception, challenging us to see the world differently and more clearly.

In addition to his research, Richard’s company, Richard Dolan Press, actively publishes innovative books by authors from around the world.

UFO mania: Does The US Government Have Fleets Of UFOs? - The Solar Warden Project

UFO mania: Does The US Government Have Fleets Of UFOs? - The Solar Warden Project

There are, and have been for some time, claims by UFO disclosure supporters that there is in existence a fleet or fleets of human spaceships charged with monitoring alien traffic throughout our solar system and even defending our solar system in the event of an extraterrestrial attack.

Perhaps this is science fiction or the result of an overactive imagination. But some have said they’ve seen evidence of this alleged project, commonly called “Solar Warden.”

If Solar Warden is indeed real, it would require advanced technology several generations ahead of what our military currently uses on the battlefield. Some speculate that backwards engineered alien technology is responsible for the rapid development of these types of systems.

Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, is probably one of the most high-profile persons to have come forward regarding the existence of alien beings visiting Earth. He has addressed the topic in several interviews, saying there are indeed extraterrestrial civilizations beyond our solar system, they have indeed visited Earth, and the United States government may have collected and backwards engineered alien technology.

“I suspect that in the last 60 years or so, that there has been some back-engineering and the creation of this type of equipment, that is not nearly as sophisticated yet as what the apparent visitors have,” stated Dr. Mitchel during a Kerrang Radio interview on July 23, 2008.

In 2001, a hacker named Gary McKinnon used a series of clever techniques to hack several government computers, including and probably not limited to NASA and U.S. Navy computers. His original purpose for hacking U.S. computers was to seek out hidden data regarding the existence of free energy, or “zero-point” devices, he told Wired in a 2006 interview.

In his digital travels he allegedly uncovered an excel spreadsheet with a list of names and a heading of “non-terrestrial officers,” he told Wired.

Another document was listed as “fleet-to-fleet” transfers, according to a 2006 Project Camelot interview.

McKinnon was unable to cross reference the names with any U.S. Navy ships and believed these were off-world or “Space Marine,” type officers.

“If you look at DARPA [Defence Advanced Research and Projects Agency] literature at the moment and in the last few years it’s all about ‘space dominance,’ that is the final frontier,” McKinnon told Project Camelot. “So, I think it’s natural for them to want to control space and be developing a space-going force in secret, but I think most likely using technology reverse-engineered from E.T. [extraterrestrials].”

McKinnon told Wired he was in the process of viewing a UFO image on a NASA computer in Building 8 of the Johnson Space Center remotely when he was discovered. Some months later (in March 2002), authorities showed up on his doorstep in the U.K. Severe hacking charges were brought against him and he was facing about 70 years in prison and $2 million in fines.

But in the years following his discovery, the U.S. government extradition request stayed in limbo until it was eventually dropped. Project Camelot speculated that McKinnon was holding “ace-in-the-hole” information he gathered during his hacking journey that he may have held as leverage against his extradition. McKinnon wouldn’t comment on whether he had such information.

The name “Solar Warden” is a term that generically refers to the ultra-secret space fleet. It’s presently unclear where exactly the name originated. If the program does exist, it would require a tremendous amount of capital to construct its fleets.

Last year, the United States’ black budget for secret programs spanning dozens of agencies was $52.6 billion, according to the Washington Post. In 2011, the U.S. government spent approximately $718 billion more on national defense and international security. Of course, much of that went to fighting the war against terrorism.

However, if the government did decide to build a space fleet of exotic technology and design, the money could be utilized, especially if more than one nation is involved and funneling money into this program as postulated by some disclosure advocates.

Currently, the U.S. government’s various military branches all have their own space commands, such as the Air Force Space Command and the Navy’s Space and Naval Warfare System’s Command (SPAWAR). These departments have public websites and they help coordinate the military forces on the ground, in the air, and at sea. It is unclear if these departments may be linked with the so-called Solar Warden project, or if this alleged project would be separated into its own covert and isolated department.

They type of UFOs are seen little bit frequently over Earth. This particular shape has been recorded by astronauts. It looks like this as it enters the Earths atmosphere and then is will shoot out a probe from the front and sometimes many probes. They will sparkle like disco, three UFOs, balls ant then the giant trail we see will disappear until only the front of the glowing ship is there and it will disappear in the distance.

The discovery of a mysterious bright spot on Ceres has given rise to lots of speculation. And now we’ve learned something new: it has a friend. The second spot is not quite as bright, but still weirdly reflective compared to the rest of the dwarf planet. And one scientist has a possible explanation for both of these bright spots.

The bright spots are here revealed as two distinct features inside the crater. (Image enlarged and sepia colored)

From photographs taken on February 19, 2015 at 46,000 kilometers away (29,000 miles), Dawn can finally see that the mysterious bright spot on Ceres is in a basin, and has a smaller, dimmer companion. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA

The latest round of photographs was taken by Dawn on February 19, 2015 when the spacecraft was still 46,000 kilometers away (29,000 miles) from the dwarf planet. It reveals not just the bright spot that has been provoking speculation for years, but now the imaging resolution is getting good enough to spot a second smaller and dimmer bright spot apparently in the same basin as the main attraction.

Could the lights be patches of ice, welling up from the interior of the biggest asteroid or there are other forces at work inside the crater?

The former manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory during the manned Apollo Lunar Program, Ken Johnston, has released quite a number of sensational statements recently in the USA.

The specialist said that U.S. astronauts found ancient ruins of artificial origin and a previously unknown technology to control gravitation when then landed on the Moon. Astronauts took pictures of the objects that they found, but NASAordered Johnston to destroy the images.

Johnston did not follow the order.

He said that the U.S. government had been keeping this information a secret for 40 years.

Johnston's startling Apollo allegations have recently appeared in a new book, "Dark Mission - the Secret History of NASA," co-authored by former NASA consultant and CBS Science Advisor, Richard C. Hoagland and Mike Bara, an aerospace engineering consultant.

According to Kay Ferrari, JPL Director of the SSA Program (in a phone call to Johnston last week), it was Johnston "being quoted [as] criticizing NASA in Hoagland's new book, 'Dark Mission,'" that prompted her to ask for Johnston's resignation from the SSA Program.

When Johnston refused, citing First Amendment protections of free speech afforded all NASA employees, even those at JPL, Ferrari apparently decided to remove him arbitrarily from the SSA Program this week without cause.

The low quality pictures included in the book depict ruins of buildings, huge dome-like objects made of glass, stone towers and castled hanging in the air.

“I have nothing to lose. I have quarreled with NASA and I got fired,” Ken Johnston said.

Indeed, NASA believes that allegations of the ancient civilization found on the Moon are not serious. The authors of the controversial book also say that President John F. Kennedy, who launched the lunar race with the Soviet Union, actually intended to share extraterrestrial technologies with Moscow. Making a speech at the United Nations Organizations in September of 1963, Kennedy supposedly offered the USSR to organize a joint mission to the Moon.

Richard Hoagland believes that Washington’s interest in the Moon exploration that suddenly appeared after 30 years of silence is based on the lunar findings that the U.S. government has been keeping a secret for 40 years. Russia, China, Japan and even India have publicly announced their plans to work on the exploration of the Moon. The USA, Hoagland said, wants to be the first at this point.

In December NASA announced plans to build an international base on one of the poles of the Moon. The base is to be finished by 2024. Russia’s booster rocket maker, Energia, has a more ambitious program: to build a permanent manned base on the Moon by 2015.

Russia says the base will be built to develop the industrial production of helium-3. U.S. specialists prefer not to say anything specific on the matter. To crown it all, China launched its first satellite to the Moon on October 24.

China also intends to launch a lunar base and an unmanned space probe to the Moon by 2010.

From an interview with Jacques Vallee by Jerome Clark (FATE magazine, 1978):

Vallee: I think that's exactly what we have to do with UFOs. We have to do something that will cause them to react. And I don't mean building landing strips in the desert and waiting out there to welcome the space brothers. Clark: But what do you mean? Vallee: I hesitate to be too specific. I'm speaking, as I'm sure you understand, of the attempted manipulation of UFO manifestations.

I know a little something about that subject. And I'm about to go out on a very long, creaky limb by telling this little story. In the past decade or so, the bizarre nexus of UFOs and the paranorma has emerged from the dustbin of Ufology, thanks to pioneers like Vallee, John Keel, and a rapidly growing group of researchers (see references at the end of this article). In some ways, the UFO/Occult nexus has become a cottage industry, and has occasionally broken through into the mainstream. But when my particular incident occurred, Ufology was primarily entrenched in the "nuts-and-bolts spaceships" extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) camp.But on with my particular piece of this puzzle.

In early September of 1990, I spend a few days at Ocean City, Maryland, a resort town on the Atlantic. I went to the beach with a few friends, and we passed the time making sand sculptures. Since I was reading a lot about UFOs at the time (it was the 90s, after all), I sculpted the head of a prototypical "gray" alien in the sand, with his arm raised above his head as if waving hello.

A couple of weeks later, I returned to Ocean City for the weekend. One evening, I had a very vivid dream about a television panel discussing UFOs. One expert was a Phil Klass styled skeptic/debunker, another was a Jacques Vallee-type, the third was a Stanton Friedman nuts-and-bolts ETH proponent, and the final panel member was a raving paranoid "the lizards in their underground bases are eating our children!" conspiratologist. The panelists bantered back and forth until the paranoid guy started ranting: "They're cooperating with the government! They're stealing our children and the government knows it! The Men in Black are demons!" The other panelists chuckled and rolled their eyes.

I awoke from the dream, disturbed. I seldom had dreams related to UFOs, and this one was particularly realistic. I found that my thoughts kept returning to the dream throughout the day.That evening, at approximately 7:30pm, I decided to take a walk on the beach with my girlfriend. It was a very clear, starry night, and we were the only two on the beach. My girlfriend walked along the surf, while I lingered away from the water. I looked down in the sand and saw what looked like a humanoid face sculpted in the sand, though part of it had been obliterated by footprints.

I remembered the alien head I had sculputed in the sand weeks before, miles from the spot on which I was standing. Just another synchronicity, I thought to myself.

I looked up into the starry night, thinking about my dream and the face in the sand. I said, mentally, If you're out there, now is the perfect time to show yourself. I guess part of me secretly wished something would appear, but I certainly did not expect anything to happen.I walked closer to the water and joined my girlfriend.A few minutes later, she pointed to the sky. "What are those?" she asked.

Two orange-red blobs of light were bobbing up and down next to each other far above us. When I looked at them, they shot off across the sky (over the ocean), flying erratically -- almost playfully, changing direction frequently. At one point, they merged, flying as one unit, then split apart again. We watched them, stunned, until they vanished on the horizon amidst the light pollution from Ocean City's boardwalk.

"Oh, my God," I said, over and over, as we followed them. I couldn't say anything else but "Oh, my God." I was simultaneously awed and frightened. When the lights disappeared, we both returned to the car and drove home, elated but also unnerved by what we had seen. I can only think of a couple of theories to explain what happened.

One is that I was part of a lucky train of coincidences, a chain of synchronicity -- sculpting a face of an alien in the sand, dreaming about the UFO panel, stumbling upon a similar face in the sand weeks later, asking for an appearance, and getting much more than I could have imagined.

The other possibility is much more intriguing, but raises all sorts of troubling questions. It suggests that UFOs are a multidimensional phenomena (bending time and space), that they interact with human consciousness on an intimate level, and that they can potentially be summoned. Far more frightening is the possibility that whatever it is, it observed, drew upon, or manipulated my consciousness, my dreams, and my perceptions leading up to the sighting.

If it wasn't for my girlfriend sighting the objects first, I would concede the possibility that it was a hallucination. She knew nothing of my silent request to show me something, and pointed out the objects before I saw them.

One of the foremost researchers into the fringes of Ufology is my friend who goes by the name of Blue Resonant Human, or Brother Blue. Although he dropped out of sight in the late 90s, his prodigious postings to USENET made him a Net celebrity, and his unconventional (and funny) writings made him the object of scorn of hardnosed skeptic and harebrained new ager alike. One of his missives is archived here. I will pull out some pertinent bits, but I strongly recommend reading the entire article.

Here he quotes Jacques Vallee:

There are certainly occult groups that claim they can invoke or evoke beings that do some of the things that UFO entities do. I've looked. I've contacted a number of those groups...

Doctor Vallee gave the Gallic form of the classic scientific Not-Speculating-Beyond-The-Data head-shake. "I can theorize, and theorize, endlessly," he said, "but is it not better to just study the data more deeply and look for clues?"

"You must have some personal hunch," I insisted.

He gave in gracefully. "They relate to space-time in ways for which we have, at present, no concepts," he said. "They cannot explain to us because we are not ready to understand."

I asked Grady McMurty if Aleister Crowley had ever said anything to him implying the extraterrestrial theory which Kenneth Grant, Outer Head of another Ordo Templi Orientis, implies in his accounts of Crowley's contacts with Higher Intelligences.

"Some of the things Aleister said to me," Grady replied carefully, "could be interpreted as hints pointing that way." He went on to quote Crowley's aphorisms about various of the standard entities contacted by Magick. The Abramelin spirits, for instance, need to be watched carefully. "They bite," Aleister explained in his best deadpan am-I-kidding-or-not? style. The Enochian "angels," on the other hand, don't always have to be summoned. "When you're ready, they come for you," Aleister said flatly.

Crowley and LAM

Crowley also figures in one of the seminal (ahem) incidents in this murky, bizarre field. The most discussed episode is Crowley's alleged contact with an entity known as LAM (illustration above) as part of his "Amalantrah Working" -- an occult process designed to facilitate "the establishment of contact with non-human intelligences."

Instead of rehashing this story here, I will point the reader to this article. Googling Crowely and LAM will yield many variations of what is essentially the same account.

The concept of UFOs as egregores is also worthy of exploration. The following defintion is excerpted from Gaetan Delaforgem's article in Gnosis:

An egregore is a kind of group mind which is created when people consciously come together for a common purpose. Whenever people gather together to do something and egregore is formed, but unless an attempt is made to maintain it deliberately it will dissipate rather quickly. However if the people wish to maintain it and know the techniques of how to do so, the egregore will continue to grow in strength and can last for centuries.

An egregore has the characteristic of having an effectiveness greater than the mere sum of its individual members. It continuously interacts with its members, influencing them and being influenced by them. The interaction works positively by stimulating and assisting its members but only as long as they behave and act in line with its original aim. It will stimulate both individually and collectively all those faculties in the group which will permit the realization of the objectives of its original program. If this process is continued a long time the egregore will take on a kind of life of its own, and can become so strong that even if all its members should die, it would continue to exist on the inner dimensions and can be contacted even centuries later by a group of people prepared to live the lives of the original founders, particularly if they are willing to provide the initial input of energy to get it going again.

I offer this information as food for thought, not because I can assert that it is truth, or even partially true. But I cannot deny my own experience, which has convinced me that, at least in part, the UFO phenomenon interacts with humans on a psychic (i.e. non-physical) level -- the level of dreams, synchronicity, and consciousness.

Some references for those interested in pursuing this line of thought are listed below. Caveat emptor.

A dwarf planet is shining two bright lights at a NASA spacecraft right now, and our smartest scientists are unsure what they are.

As bizarre as that sentence sounds, that's the situation with Ceres — the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, officially designated as a dwarf planet (the same category as Pluto).

NASA's Dawn spacecraft is approaching Ceres ahead of a March 6 rendezvous. The picture above was taken February 19, from a distance of just under 29,000 miles, and shows two very shiny areas on the same basin on Ceres' surface.

Previous Dawn images from further away showed a single light on Ceres, which was just as mysterious. Then, to the amazement of every astronomy geek, the one light turned out to be two — reflecting roughly 40% of the light hitting them.

"This is truly unexpected and still a mystery to us," said Andreas Nathues, lead investigator for the framing camera team at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany, in a NASA statement. "The brightest spot [of the two] continues to be too small to resolve with our camera, but despite its size it is brighter than anything else on Ceres."

So what could the bright spots be, other than alien castaways signaling at us with flashlights?

The most obvious contender is ice, although ice would reflect more than 40% of all light hitting it. The difference may be accounted for by the resolution limit of Dawn's camera at this distance. Scientists have previously detected water vapor coming from the surface of the dwarf planet, making ice — a more likely option.

Scientists have also suggested the bright areas could be patches of salt. On the other hand, the location of the two bright spots so close together may be an indication that they have a geologic origin, such as some sort of volcanic process, possibly even ice volcanoes.

According to Chris Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission, the positioning of the bright spots within the same area may indicate "a volcano-like origin of the spots," but scientists will have to wait for higher resolution images before making such interpretations. Scientists don't think the spots comprise lava similar to that seen on Earth, since that would shine more brightly.

We'll find out more as Dawn approaches Ceres next week and more imagery comes in during the next 16 months, according to NASA. In the meantime, here's more on Dawn and its eight-year mission:

February 25, 2015 - Some 12.8 billion light years away, astronomers have spotted an object of almost impossible brightness — the most luminous object ever seen in such ancient space. It's from just 900 million years after the big bang, and the old quasar — a shining object produced by a massive black hole — is 420 trillion times more luminous than our sun.

That brightness and size is surprising in a black hole from so close to the dawn of time. In a new study published Wednesday in Nature, researchers describe a cosmic light that defies convention. It was even detectable with a relatively small telescope, though researchers in China did have to ask for help from astronomers in Chile and the United States to get a higher-resolution look."How could we have this massive black hole when the universe was so young? We don't currently have a satisfactory theory to explain it," said lead author Xue-Bing Wu of Peking University and the Kavli Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics.

For the black hole to grow to such a staggering size in less than a billion years, the astronomers posit, it must have been pulling in interstellar mass from its surroundings at the maximum rate the whole time. Even so, the radiation of the quasar formed by the black hole should have started to limit that mass accumulation before such a size was reached.

So there are puzzles left to be solved. But for now, Wu said, his team is using the brilliant quasar as a beacon to find other space objects.

Just like a lighthouse sitting in a dark, distant universe," he said, "it gives us a chance to see things in between our own planet and the black hole by illuminating them. It provides a unique chance to understand things between the distant galaxy and ours."

Wu and his team have many follow-up observations planned for the coming year, including projects using space telescopes like the Hubble to get an even better look at things in and near this impressive quasar's galaxy.

News lines and websites lite up as an unidentified flying objects was seen in the skies of Utah, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, California and Canada on February 24 2015.

Patrick Wiggins, NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador to Utah, said that the object was a rocket body used in the launch of Yaogan Weixing-26, a Chinese satellite, which was launched in December 2014,

It’s hard to believe the strange anomaly is the rocket body or a part of it. If you compare the Chinese rocket body entering the atmosphere with this anomaly we see two completely different objects in the sky.

An unidentified light hovered over Donetsk’s skyline on Tuesday evening. Earlier in the day, anti-Kiev forces withdrew heavy artillery 50 kilometres (31 miles) away from the line of engagement in the Donetsk region, line with the latest Minsk peace agreement.

The witness first saw the UFO as he was driving near the post office along Jefferson Street, Olympia, WA, about 11 a.m. on February 23, 2015. (Credit: Google)

A Washington witness at Olympia reported watching a white, hovering, cigar-shaped craft that made sharp turns and fired bright light flashes beginning about 11 a.m. on February 23, 2015, according to testimony in Case 63541 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness spotted the hovering object with no wings, tail or rotors that made no sound and had no condensation trail behind it.

“The movement of the cigar-shaped, white object was so slow that it appeared to be simply floating along at perhaps about 30-40 mph,” the witness stated. “There’s a possibility it may have been a drone – I’ve not seen all the types of drones the military has these days, and there is a base nearby, so who knows? It could have been ours, but maybe it wasn’t.”

The witness had just pulled out of a post office parking lot on Jefferson Street and turned right heading north.

As the object moved away, it appeared to release bright flashes of light. Pictured: Olympia, WA, as seen from the International Space Station. (Credit: Wikimedia Commons)

“After one block Jefferson Street makes a curve to the northwest and as I was looking ahead during the curve – first gorgeous blue sky day we’ve had in a while – a white cylindrical shape in the distant sky caught my attention.”

The witness aid the object did not “look like a normal airplane.”

“It was long, cylindrical, no wings, tail or rotors, no windows as far as I could tell. It was hard to tell how far away it was – I would guess perhaps anywhere from 1.5 to 2 miles away. Elevation (guessing again) may have been ono-half to one mile high. It’s really hard to tell as there was nothing to triangulate it with.”

The witness is a pilot, but has not flown in years. He pulled over to the side of the road for a better look. The witness was able to see the object for about three to five minutes.

“From my viewpoint it was to my west-northwest, and was headed south, maybe a tweak to the southwest, moving very slowly, silently, for about one minute of my watch time, when suddenly it veered sharply to its right – due west – so now all I could see was the dot of its circumference.”

The witness then noticed flashes of light coming from the object.

“The whiteness of the object was getting dimmer as it moved further west, and suddenly I noticed a bright pomegranate-colored flash below it to the south, and then another less brilliant flash a little further away, and then a third even dimmer and further still away. They were like light flashes, nothing exploding, not flares, and were all in a single southern and lower trajectory from the craft.”

The witness continued to watch the object as he drove along Washington Street where it makes a loop in a northwest direction. (Credit: Google)

Then the craft moved again.

“A few seconds later the craft made an abrupt turn and was longwise to my view again, pointing south. It seemed to just hover there for maybe 10 seconds, and did not proceed further south. Then it abruptly turned west again and within a few seconds there was another brilliant flash off the side of the craft – a brilliant whitish-green, electric colored flash – white on the far side, greener closer to the craft. That flash was fan-shaped, different that the burst of round light previously seen. The fanned-out part of the white-green flash was away from the craft, while the narrow part of the fan-shape was right near the craft.”

The longer the witness watched at this point, the object moved further away until it was out of sight.

Olympia is the capital of the State of Washington and the county seat of Thurston County, population 46,478.

Washington is currently a UFO Alert Level 5 – with 0.87 sightings per million population based on MUFON January 2015 statistics. Washington received a total of six UFO reports in January. The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.

Please remember that most UFO sighting can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

It’s 1966, and 6-year-old Thomas Reed is in his bedroom on his family’s horse farm in the Berkshires when the encounters begin. Strange lights. Strange figures in the hallway. Suddenly, he’s in the woods near his home looking at a UFO. Then he and his younger brother, Matthew, are inside the craft. He’s shown a projection of a willow tree. The following year, there is another incident at their home on Boardman Street in Sheffield. More strange lights. The sound of doors slamming. Then the boys are back inside the vessel. The next thing Thomas knows, he’s in his driveway being scooped up by his mother, who has been searching frantically for the boys on horseback. Two years later, the family is driving on Route 7 when they see strange lights in the sky. Their car stalls, and then Thomas and his brother and mother and grandmother find themselves in a giant room. He is brought to meet two strange, ant-like figures, then placed in some sort of cage. Next thing, he’s back near the car. Reed has told these stories many times, and it has not always gone well. But recently, his tale had found recognition in an unlikely place. The Great Barrington Historical Society & Museum has formally inducted the UFO story.

What does that mean? “It means that we believe it is true,” said Debbie Oppermann, the director of the society. “I know we’re going to get a lot of backlash. We’re going to get hammered,” she said. “But we have given it an awful lot of thought, and, based on the evidence we’ve been given, we believe this is a significant and true event.” The historical society believes it is the first time a “mainstream” historical society or museum in the United States has declared a UFO encounter to be historical fact. But the decision was far from unanimous; of the nine members of the historical society’s board, three were “strongly opposed” to the decision, Oppermann said, but “it passed with consensus.” The Reed case already has its own display in the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, N.M.; now, it’s about to get one in Great Barrington, about 2 miles from where the alleged encounters took place. That most interests the historical society is the 1969 encounter, because dozens of people in the area reported seeing an unidentified flying object around that time, typically described as a disk-shaped craft performing acrobatic maneuvers in the sky. Many of those eyewitnesses called the local radio station, WSBS, which covered the sightings. (The radio station has provided documentation to the historical society, which interviewed one of those eyewitnesses. They have also examined a polygraph test taken by Thomas Reed.)Director Debbie Oppermann says the Great Barrington Historical Society believes the Reed family story of having been abducted by aliens in 1969 is true, in part because dozens of people reported seeing a UFO at that time.

Alien race known as Nordics influences Putin, according to Councillor Simon Parkes during his talk in Wallsend.

Labour councillor Simon Parkes told a group of around 30 people in Wallsend, North Tyneside that there’s extraterrestrial intervention in Eastern Europe’s recent hostilities.

Coun Parkes, who previously made headlines after claiming that he had hundreds of alien encounters in his life, blamed a race of aliens he called the Nordics for Russia’s aggression in the Ukraine.

The North Yorkshire councillor said that Putin has gotten support from Nordics against perceived U.S. influences in the area.

He revealed that Putin had been one of those people advised by reptiles, but Nordics made a counter offer to the Russian president.

Parkes further claimed that Nordics’ technology is equal with the U.S. The Nordics, according to Parkes, told Putin that he doesn’t need to grant anymore what the Americans requested him to do.

The Whitby councillor also made another shocking claim to the audience at The Vault when he said that his legal father (in the eyes of the universal law) is a reptile.

Ahead of the session, Coun Parkes, who represents Stakesby, had made a comment about the video reportedly taken on Tyneside. It apparently shows a UFO hovering above the North Sea.

Parkes said that the video appears very genuine and the UFO looks like a diamond-shape alien craft to him.

Referring to the video, he said that it’s weird the aircraft remained there for so long. For him, the craft wanted to be seen. Looking at the video, Parkes believes it depicts alien life.

Coun Parkes also actuated controversy in 2013 when he claimed that he lost his virginity to an extraterrestrial at the age of five. But Parkes further claimed that this was not the first time he experienced alien life. The councillor said that when he was in his mother’s womb, he first experienced extraterrestrial life, and he has sexual dealings with an alien group at a maximum of four times a year.

There was something odd in the sky last week, something that caused a Navy veteran with 10,000 hours of flight experience to have his own close encounter. While preparing to mow his lawn, "David" saw a large cigar-shaped object hovering in the sky. He said it was about the size of two USS Nimitz aircraft carriers.

An artist's rendering depicts what "David" saw in the sky on Wednesday, July 20, from his Exeter home. The picture shows a large object shaped like a "silver cigar," as David says it appeared just before the object vanished - twice the size at which he first viewed it, with flames billowing underneath.

There has been a considerable response to Tuesday’s article in the News-Letter about a recent UFO sighting. Interested local residents and skeptics joined UFO enthusiasts commenting from throughout the nation. R

Exeter News-Letter (Exeter, New Hampshire), July 31, 2005

National UFO Reporting Center / Filer's Files

An Instructor Flight Engineer on the P3 Orion and EP-3 Reconnaissance aircraft with 10,000 hours of flight time called Peter Davenport to report, "An enormous silver cigar shaped object in the sky at about a 40 degree angle above the horizon about 3:15 PM, on July 20, 2005." R

It’s happened again. An East Kingston resident said she saw a "silver-cigar" shaped object in a daytime sky last week. This report comes about a week after a 48-year-old Navy veteran claimed to have seen a similar object. R

WMUR News 9, New Hampshire

Artist Angela Gram met with the man who said that he saw the object on a recent afternoon. Gram created a rendering of the object based on the man's description. She said that his story was believable. R

EXETER - There was something odd in the sky last week, something that caused a Navy veteran with 10,000 hours of flight experience to have his own close encounter.

The former flight engineer, who wished to be identified only as "David," said of the experience, "this was like nothing I’ve ever seen before."

What the retired Navy chief petty officer said he saw last Wednesday could only be classified as a UFO, an unidentified flying object.

It was a bright and sunny afternoon, about 3:15 p.m., and David was outside preparing his lawnmower. He had filled the mower with gas, checked the oil, and took a sip from a glass of water he had poured. When he tilted his head back to get the final sip, through the bottom of the glass he saw a large cigar-shaped object hovering in the sky.

David said windows were equally spaced around the object, however he didn’t see anyone or anything inside. The size of the object was enormous. By comparison, he said, consider what an ultralight plane would look like next to a Boeing 747. He said it was about the size of two USS Nimitz aircraft carriers.

At first glance, through his empty glass of water he thought it could have been the Hood blimp. "But, the instant I put my glass down, I said, ‘that’s not a blimp.’"

The object moved from west to east, very slowly for something that size, he said. His initial instinct was that the object was moving at about 100 knots, but something that big shouldn’t be able to stay in the air if it’s going that slow, he said.

The object began changing colors from a bright silver to an orange-ish red. A strange cloud of red and orange flames began surrounding the object, and before he knew it the object stretched out like a rubber band. It grew to about twice its original size, and then it was gone.

The entire incident lasted about 10 minutes, he recalled Monday morning, but he is unaware of the specific time because, "it felt like time stopped."

He went into his house and first thought to call the police. He decided not to because he didn’t think they’d take him seriously. So he went on the Internet and searched for "report UFO," and found the Web site for the Seattle-based National UFO Reporting Center.

Peter Davenport, director of the UFO reporting center, said David’s report was astonishing because of his history with flight. "I have no question on his reliability."

He said he gets several accounts each year, but this one stood out. The report was well written and scientific, Davenport said.

"In my view, that’s one of the cardinal rules of an account," he said.

The center was founded in 1974 by UFO investigator Robert Gribble. The center’s Web site, www.nuforc.org, has a large list of UFO sightings. According to the site, the center’s primary function is to receive, record, and to the greatest degree possible, corroborate and document reports from individuals who have witnessed possible UFOs. David’s report, which will soon be on the Web site, will be among dozens of documented sightings to be formally reported to the center.

Not the first time

The Exeter area is no stranger to UFO sightings. In 1965, two Exeter police officers and hitchhiker Norman Muscarello, who was with them, gained national attention after seeing a UFO hovering over Route 101 in Kensington. The sighting was documented in a book called "The Incident at Exeter."

And then there was the incident involving Barney and Betty Hill, a husband and wife from Portsmouth who claimed to have been abducted by aliens. The couple was driving from a vacation in Canada in 1961 when they saw a UFO.

The object moved directly over their car, and before they knew it they grew drowsy. They later claimed to have been abducted by aliens and gave identical accounts while they were hypnotized.

But for this recent sighting, David said he believes that there is life beyond Earth. He said the galaxy is so enormous, it’s hard to believe humans are the only intelligent life.

"To the point of not being obnoxious, it’d be egocentric to think there is no other life out there."

The primary eyewitness in the case, Jeffrey Morse, alleged (i) that he had been working as a security policeman at McGuire AFB at 03.00 on January 18, 1978 when he was notified about UFO activity over Fort Dix army base that adjoined McGuire AFB. (ii) Morse alleged that he heard that a non-human entity had been shot and he later saw the dead body of the entity lying on the ground on a disused runway at McGuire AFB. (iii) The scene was rapidly cordoned off and the body was crated and flown to Wright-Patterson AFB (WPAFB) for examination. (iv)Morse himself, two days after the shooting incident, was allegedly summoned to WPAFB and interrogated about the event. He was warned to keep quiet and shortly thereafter was transferred to Okinawa, Japan.

----------------------------------------------

Letter from sergeant Morse summarizing his experience and the incident:

In January of 1978, I was stationed at McGuire AFB, NJ. One evening, during the time frame of 0300hrs and 0500hrs., there were a number of UFO sightings in the area over the air field and Ft. Dix Army camp. I am a security policeman and was on routine patrol at the time. N.J. State Police, and Ft. Dix MPs were running code in the direction of Brownsville, NJ. A state trooper then entered gate #5 at the rear of the base requesting assistance and permission to enter. I was dispatched and the trooper wanted access to the runway area which led to the very back of the air field and connected with a heavily wooded area which is part of the Dix training area. He informed me that a Ft. Dix MP was pursueing (sic) a low flying object which then hovered over his car. He described it as oval shaped, with no details, and glowing with a blueish (sic) green color. His radio transmission was cut off. At that time in front of his police car, appeared a thing, about 4ft tall, grayish (sic), brown, fat head, long arms, and slender body. The MP panicked and fired five rounds from his .45 Cal into the thing, and one round into the object above. The object then fled straight up and joined with eleven others high in the sky. This we all saw but didn?t know the details at the time. Anyway, the thing ran into the woods towards our fenceline and they wanted to look for it. By this time several patrols were involved.

We found the body of the thing near the runway. It had apparently climbed the fence and died while running. It was all of a sudden hush-hush and no one was allowed near the area. We roped off the area and AF OSI came out and took over. That was the last I saw of it. There was a bad stench coming from it too. Like ammonia smelling but it wasn?t constent (sic) in the air. That day, a team from Wright-Patterson AFB came in a C141 and went to the area. They crated it in a wooden box, sprayed something over it, and then put it into a bigger metal container. They loaded it in the plane and took off. That was it, nothing more was said, no report made and we were all told not to have anything to say about it or we would be court martialed.

---------------

Morse, in subsequent conversations, revealed that two days after the incident he and others on duty at the scene were summoned to Wright Patterson AFB for interrogation, and each was transferred promptly to a separate base overseas.

The Fort Dix/McGuire case was also of interest because a prominent UFO investigator, George Filer, claimed to have been present at McGuire AFB on the morning of January 18, 1978. Mr. Filer told NIDS that he witnessed a commotion with red lights on one of the disused runways at McGuire when he arrived on the base at 4:00 AM. He further claimed that he heard from a Senior Master Sergeant at McGuire command post on the same morning that (i) UFO activity had been sighted by the control tower and on radar at neighboring Fort Dix and (ii) an alien had been shot that morning and that it had been found dead on the runway at McGuire.

February 25, 2015 - Nowadays, we are extremely proud of the existent technology and we have come to rely on it for various things. But what was it like hundreds of years ago? What was technology for the cultures existent back then? Well, as history and archeological findings have shown us, they did have technology and, of course, ancient gadgets. Let’s check out the top 10 gadgets of the ancient world.

#1 Antikythera Mechanism

Made almost 2000 years ago, the Antikythera Mechanism is believed to be one of the oldest computers in the world. Found in the ruins of a ship, it was considered for a long time to be clock but recent discoveries have demonstrated it could do so much more. Originating from Greece, this ancient gadget had the ability to predict when a solar eclipse would happen and even could organize the calendar in cycles of four years.

#2 The Coso Artifact

The fact that you would find a spark plug is nothing special. But what happens when that spark plug is actually embedded in hard rock, one that dates from as long as 500.000 years ago? The Coso Artifact has disappeared and it is not to be studied using modern technology. There are three suppositions however when it comes to its origins: one, that it was made by an extremely intelligent ancient civilization such as Atlantis; two, that it came from the future and three, that it is of alien origin.

#3 Baigong Pipes

Located on top of Mountain Baigong, the Baigong pipes lead directly into a pyramid. The interesting thing about these rusty pipes is that no signs of civilizations in the area has ever been unearthed there. This means that the reason for which these have been made is still unknown. However, they are of an uniform size and they do have a special pattern, a salt lake being situated in their close vicinity.

#4 Ancient Sandstone Xylophone

The link between humans and music is older than any of us can imagine. In the early 20th century, scientists have discovered these ancient sandstones and they believed them to have been used for grinding grains. It took a lot of time and a fortunate accident before their real purpose was discovered; it seems that this ancient gadget is actually a musical instrument, this being discovered by accident by an archaeologist.

#5 Roman Dodecahedra

While there are many fascinating Roman artifacts that can easily pose as ancient gadgets, this is by far one of the best. Amazingly enough, it was found in several countries, including Germany, France and Switzerland. Even though many archaeologists have tried to study it, no clear purpose was identified. They were able to identify certain symbols on it there are related to the Zodiac but they are not certain whether it was used for surveying or it just had a decorative purpose.

#6 Mystery airplanes

Discovered in Columbia, these figurines are believed to have been made by a tribe named Quimbaya, somewhere around 1000 CE. The resemblance to an airplane is uncanny, as they have tails, landing gears and wings just like any modern day plane. Scientists have rebuilt models after them only to prove that they worked. There are some scientists who say that these are only stylized fish or insects.

#7 The Phaistos Disc

This ancient gadget is made from clay and it is believed to date back to the second millennium. Just like other ancient gadgets, its origin is unknown and so is the meaning or the intent purpose. The disc has been unearthed in Crete and it has a wide array of symbols imprinted on it, some of which have been identified as people, animals, tools or plants.

#8 Byzantine Tablet

While we rely on modern tablets for a lot of things, so did the people from Byzantine culture rely on their ancient gadgets. This tablet is comprised of five panels that are stacked together and each of them has a frame and a wax coating. It is believed that they were used for making note on inventories or appraisals.

#9 Baghdad Battery

Perhaps this is one of the strangest ancient gadgets to have ever been discovered. While it is clearly a battery, it does not explain why would people who lived in the ancient world need it. It was found in Iraq in 1936 and ever since then scientists have constructed replicas in order to prove that it actually works.

#10 Dropa Stones

These stones are unique ancient gadgets and many people have said they belong to an ancient or alien culture. They were discovered on a burial site in the Himalayan mountains and each of these stones is actually a one-foot wide disc, with a simple hole in the center. The interesting thing about these is that they are extremely old; scientists have placed them to have existed as far as 12.000 years ago.

Modern day gadgets are extremely useful for us. And maybe it was just like that for ancient cultures, relying on the gadgets presented above for every day living.

Demonic Alien Abductions

Poltergeist phenomena was soon concurrent with a close overhead sighting of a flotilla of alien craft.

Nightmares and vivid dreams involving 3-D scenario 'exams' ensued including recalling eyeball to eyeball encounters with entities who were white like a refrigerator, tall, flat like a gumby cartoon character and who spoke mind to mind.

When I began to write about and focus on these experiences by doing broadcasts things got much worse.

Vivid unpleasant dreams prevailed; imposed nightmares, given in clear retribution, were not only screen memories to muddle the memory of an abduction, but also strong telepathic attacks by a discorporate energy with intelligence, an alien entity in-dwelling or attached.

One is horrified.

Therein is the true invasion; only God knows how long this has been going on with people, on Earth.

It is surely demonic in nature. The motives and tactics of these beings are predatory, sinister and self-justifying, the three criteria of pure evil.

I have researched the literature available and have come up with quotes that corroborate my beliefs and inclinations about these highly technological beings who I have seen eyeball to eyeball, who are the pilots of UFOs which violate our airspace and its citizens, nightly:

"Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception."

- Brad Steiger, [cited in] Blue Book Files Released inCanadian UFO Report, Vol. 4, No. 4, 1977, p. 20 "We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us."

-Terrence McKenna [from a lecture] "One theory which can no longer be taken very seriously is that UFOs are interstellar spaceships."

- Arthur C. Clarke, New York Times Book Review, 07/27/75 "There seems to be no evidence yet that any of these craft or beings originate from outer space."

-Gordon Creighton, Official 1992 Flying Saucer Review Policy Statement "A large part of the available UFO literature is closely linked with mysticism and the metaphysical. It deals with subjects like mental telepathy, automatic writing and invisible entities as well as phenomena like poltergeist [ghost] manifestation and 'possession.' Many of the UFO reports now being published in the popular press recount alleged incidents that are strikingly similar to demonic possession and psychic phenomena."

- Lynn E. Catoe, UFOs and Related Subjects: USGPO, 1969; prepared under AFOSR Project Order 67-0002 and 68-0003 "UFO behaviour is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it... the modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical."

-Trevor James, FSR Vol. 8, No. 1, p.10 "Studies of flying saucer cults repeatedly show that they are part of a larger occult social world."

-Stupple & McNeece, 1979 MUFON UFO Symposium Proceedings, p. 49 "The 'medical examination' to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks."

Director of CIA, Admiral R.H. Hillenkoetter: "It is time for the truth to be brought out in open Congressional hearings. Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. To hide the facts, the Air Force has silenced its personnel." p. 58, quoted from New York Times, February 28, 1960, p. L30

- Dr. Jacques Vallee, Confrontations, p. 13 "The symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is embedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture...the structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals...the UFO beings of today belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult] entities that were described in centuries past."

-Dr. Jacques Vallee citing the extensive research of Bertrand Meheust [ Science-Fiction et Soucoupes Volantes (Paris, 1978); Soucoupes Volantes et Folklore (Paris, 1985)], inConfrontations, p. 146, 159-161 "[The occultist] is brought into intelligent communication with the spirits of the air, and can receive any knowledge which they possess, or any false impression they choose to impart...the demons seem permitted to do various wonders at their request."

"I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate... 'Whitley' ceased to exist. What was left was a body and a state of raw fear so great that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis into a condition that seemed close to death...I died and a wild animal appeared in my place."

- Whitley Streiber, Communion, p. 25-26 "Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal. There are worse things than death, I suspected... so far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me...Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons ...At the very least I was going stark, raving mad."

- Whitley Streiber, Transformation, p. 172 "I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace. It was hell on earth to be there [in the presence of the entities], and yet I couldn't move, couldn't cry out, couldn't get away. I'd lay as still as death, suffering inner agonies. Whatever was there seemed so monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were demons. They had to be. And they were here and I couldn't get away."

- Whitley Streiber, Transformation, p. 181 "Why were my visitors so secretive, hiding themselves behind my consciousness. I could only conclude that they were using me and did not want me to know why...What if they were dangerous? Then I was terribly dangerous because I was playing a role in acclimatizing people to them."

Like insect praying mantids and their higher alien archetype who cannot understand higher, elevated ideals like compassion, forgiveness, love and mercy, intrusive dark intentions to disrupt and control and possess come from both aliens who abduct as well as from demons and both move against us without conscience.

(from unknown Internet source ):"A factor that God wants us to realize more completely and fully is that we are not alone in this ocean of air. Even as vicious sharks and barracuda prowl the water, their demonic counterparts, foul and unclean spiritual raptors and carrion-eaters, demonic alien entities who attack people, by abducting and then possessing them, inhabit the ocean of air right along with us."

I shall close this article with a private communication from Whitley Streiber:

"My mission, even when I was not sure that my own close encounter experiences were physical, or even negative, was to find ways of empowering myself and others in the face of this unknown.

When I was having and seeing good experiences, I wanted to facilitate contact. Now that contact has changed, I have changed. I want to find ways of effectively protecting us.

I view the spreaders of disempowering messages to be de facto under the control of the visitors, whether they are operating from some concealed agenda, under some sort of mind control, or simply from their own fear. If you preach fear without empowerment, as far as I am concerned, you're working for them. The same is true if you preach the bald faced lie that they are in some way loving toward us and that our fear is our fault. This is pure fantasy, and also does their work for them, in that it keeps us passive toward what is happening to us.

So, what is to be done?

Unfortunately, ordinary means do not offer us any help. The government is obviously unable even to warn people of the dangers involved. Otherwise, it would have publicized the murders I have referred to and openly studied things like implants and the physical effects of abduction which, though little researched and poorly understood, appear to be many.

The amount of physical evidence is so extensive that research would be quite easy. The truth is that the skeptics' lie that there is no physical evidence of abduction is just that: a complete falsehood. There is, in fact, an abundance of physical evidence readily available to science.

I think that protection will come from two things: mutual support and knowledge. I don't think that abductee groups are the answer, though. I tried such groups early on and they were a disaster. People with religious and `space brothers' agendas rushed to them. Mentally ill and otherwise disturbed people who want to ascribe their personal problems to the stress of contact appeared, bringing their baggage with them. Even the groups that came together well were, ultimately, unproductive. What can we really do in these groups? In the end, they became repetitive and did not offer what we need. Counselling and post-abduction support is important, of course. But what we need is a means of controlling our exposure to close encounters in the first place.

Ten years ago, I was saying that what we needed was a means of perfecting communication and learning how to live in the context of encounter. Of course I was. Except for my initial experience, I'd had a wonderful time. And I still can't fault it. The visitors took me beyond the edge of known reality, and I saw spread before me hidden glories.

However, I am also a down-to-earth realist, and I am not seeing any of that sort of thing anymore. We need to learn how to anticipate contact and how to avoid it. If there are still visitors out there who have something good to bring us, they'll find their own way, I feel sure. But right now what we've got to deal with is awful, and the key to doing this is avoidance.

If we were not able to avoid them, they wouldn't need to sneak up on us as they do. So knowledge matters. Social agreement matters. But our best tools, the government with all its various resources and the scientific community with its ability to explore and gather information, have been denied to us by a process of clever social control, or possibly for good reason, as discussed above, by the government itself.

Most abduction researchers offer no help, or `help' that's actually worse than nothing. Being told that it's horrible and there's nothing to be done except wait for `disclosure' that will never come doesn't help. It freezes us and tells us we are impotent until and if our captured or neutered government acts. Being told idiotic things like we made an "agreement" of some sort with the visitors "on the soul level" to go through this is shameful and childish rubbish.

On a frank, physical level, the only things that I know help are two:

1. Stay in heavily populated areas, especially at night.

2. Move every few years. In recent years, Anne and I have moved seven times,

and we are typical of witnesses. However, running is ultimately not an answer.

Being informed helps. Knowing the signs of possible visitor involvement in a given area helps.

What are these signs? Listen to the interview with Kenny Young. All the signs are present in this case. The first is the presence of UFOs in the area. The visitors often, but not always, make their presence known in this way, perhaps because they cannot conceal the craft, or do not care to.

They know that the media won't provide useful information about their presence. Another way to find out is to visit the National UFO Reporting Center often. This isn't a perfect system, but its the best we have.

The second sign is if you should notice any manifestations around you. If you actually see a UFO, for example. Or if your area suddenly becomes extremely quiet. Birds and animals stop, insects stop. An eerie silence falls. If this is followed by an eruption of animal sounds-dogs howling and barking, cats pacing, wildlife squalling, it means that the visitors are on the ground.

Personally, I would stay awake and together in a lighted room. Don't venture out. Don't express any interest in them. And if there is the least sign of their presence near you- knocking on walls, sudden shadows flashing about in the house, your pets becoming agitated-do not go to sleep no matter how sleepy you get. Fight it. Turn on music, the TV, make phone calls. And don't go to sleep in the predawn. The hours from three until sunrise are favorite contact times. Stay awake until well after dawn, when the world is active again.

Ultimately, as a species, we have no escape from this. Even if the government were to announce that the visitors were entirely real, and publish all it knows about them, and do everything it possibly could now or in any conceivable future to free us from them, we would not succeed in escaping them. In fact, no amount of struggle is going to dislodge them.

Maybe not from the world, anyway. But from your life-yes. You can help yourself. It is not only about avoiding encounter, it is about coping on a personal as well as a social level.

As to the question, `why have the visitors changed,' maybe they haven't. Look at what's happened from another perspective. What if astronauts from earth discovered another world. Perhaps, for a time, strict rules of contact that respected the native population would be observed. Maybe, though, in time, those rules would be relaxed, especially as travel to the new world became easier and cheaper.

Exploitative people would arrive, people carrying their religious and ideological agendas. These would be lesser people than the noble astronauts-believers and fanatics intent on imposing their fantasies on the helpless aliens. Then there would be those seeking resources of some kind, who wanted results and didn't care how they got them. And there would be the evil, the sadists, the scum.

For whatever reason, I think we have been left to the exploiters and the scum. Who knows? Maybe the good guys gave up or lost a war. Maybe those of us who got good treatment were simply being deceived.

The point is, we must always approach this from a practical standpoint, and at the present time, contact is awful and dangerous. If the visitors want it to be different, then they need to find a way to change it. For our part, we must seek to find the good in our own souls, and let the dark presence that slips along the paths of the night know that we know it is there, and we will do everything we can to avoid it."

My journal entries get a lot of comment, and for that I am so grateful to you. Some of it is quite, quite wise, and I thought that this, from a knowledgeable abductee, is particularly valuable. Take it to heart.

I drink a LOT of water before sleep so as to awaken during sleep to urinate often just as a method of tearing myself away from the vivid constructs of imposed "dreams" as I find it virtually impossible to go "lucid' despite years of self programming.

I might have supposed that our own military is involved up to their necks with Dracos and other reptoid-greys to use people for their own nefarious purposes but I thought that one must be highly psychic or otherwise gifted in OBE's or astral travel to be so used..

I am only rarely episodically highly psychic.

I am able to focus anger against them but I awaken each morning drained from ethereal "milking", feeling the "burn" of attachments, like unseen arms hugging me and I suffer from horrid nightmare scenarios, like attacks by large crab-like cockroaches, alien- demonic bullcrap.

I have seen juvenile reptilians materialize briefly when I try astrally to sweep their burning connection touches from my body ; they are five foot tall half man half monitor lizard entities with a birdlike intelligence and curiosity in their eyes.

I have presumed that almost all the vivid "dreams" imposed upon me are screen memories as I am aboard craft.

I DO have the odd ability to remain lucid during some parts of abductions and have been a 'management' problem for their efforts as I can resist in small ways and do recall enough to write down and post it everywhere on the web.

Shortly after an experience where I awakened, in bed, surrounded by small entities who were operating a small whirring drill into my lower neck, I had to have emergency surgery, for real, because three neck discs completely compressed my spinal cord close to my brain, to cause pain one could never imagine and it threatened to totally paralyze me.

All discs from c-3 to c-7 were replaced with titanium and marrow grafts using cadaver sterilized bone material.The pain has been unimaginable and sleep almost impossible; I cannot submit my head to a pillow.

Since that life threatening experience, years later two discs just below the hardware in my neck herniated and sleep is replete with pain shooting down both arms.

The jaw pain and headaches are my constant companions; it is all that I can do to sleep a few hours as I cannot recline.

I have been diagnosed with degenerative spinal disease and many discs also herniate in my thorax and lumbar that make sitting or walking an experience in pain down both legs.

I am convinced that all this has been retribution for writing about them though I have been severely warned by them NOT to continue to publicize truths about aliens.

There are still many who cannot accept aliens and UFOs.

They're not a singularity of cynicism; there are many others.To quote one abductee:

"A leap in consciousness will require a dissolution and restructuring of your beliefs about the nature of reality"

To live unburdened by an insatiable curiosity to comprehend the mysteries of the universe is quite an amazing thing, in itself.

"The history of mankind has been punctuated by personalities who refused to be bound by the grand illusion of space and time, seekers who penetrated the limitations of space and form.'

Knowing the aliens reside in a different reality explains why this whole UFO phenomenon is so slippery; we exist within a matrix of other realities all merging in one spot: the mind."

Aliens and their craft exist.

My expanded consciousness and mental abilities are the outcome of my contacts with them.

'Their world coexists with our own intimately intertwined and separated by the thinnest veil- our arrogant assumption that we are the sole proprietors of the only reality.'

Paul Schroeder

BIO:

Abductions and their remnant elusive memories have opened all this for Paul, a confirmed atheist, UNTIL Paul saw aliens float him out of his body, in his bed, at night.

Then, he knew that they were interested in an essence that he never suspected that he had, a nonphysical soul.

Our spiritual powers that interest and addict interdimensionals are the very powers that can be used to thwart further attacks.

They infect auras with attachments to themselves and ride the reincarnation roller coaster with human beings, as a sanctuary, to avoid the death that they fear and to steal the spiritual recycling that we have.

Some researchers want to use big radio dishes like the 305-meter Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico to announce our presence to intelligent aliens.

Is it time to take the search for intelligent aliens to the next level?

For more than half a century, scientists have been scanning the heavens for signals generated by intelligent alien life. They haven't found anything conclusive yet, so some researchers are advocating adding an element called "active SETI" (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) — not just listening, but also beaming out transmissions of our own designed to catch aliens' eyes.

Active SETI "may just be the approach that lets us make contact with life beyond Earth," Douglas Vakoch, director of interstellar message composition at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California, said earlier this month during a panel discussion at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in San Jose. [13 Ways to Hunt Intelligent Alien Life]

Vakoch envisions using big radio dishes such as the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico to blast powerful, information-laden transmissions at nearby stars, in a series of relatively cheap, small-scale projects.

"Whenever any of the planetary radar folks are doing their asteroid studies, and they have an extra half an hour before or after, there's always a target star readily available that they can shift to without a lot of extra slough time," he said.

The content of any potential active SETI message is a subject of considerable debate. If it were up to astronomer Seth Shostak, Vakoch's SETI Institute colleague, we'd beam the entire Internet out into space.

"It's like sending a lot of hieroglyphics to the 19th century — they [aliens] can figure it out based on the redundancy," Shostak said during the AAAS discussion. "So, I think in terms of messages, we should send everything."

While active SETI could help make humanity's presence known to extrasolar civilizations, the strategy could also aid the more traditional "passive" search for alien intelligence, Shostak added.

"If you're going to run SETI experiments, where you're trying to listen for a putative alien broadcast, it may be very instructive to have to construct a transmitting project," he said. "Because now, you walk a mile in the Klingons' shoes, assuming they have them."

Cause for concern?

But active SETI is a controversial topic. Humanity has been a truly technological civilization for only a few generations; we're less than 60 years removed from launching our first satellite to Earth orbit, for example. So the chances are that any extraterrestrials who pick up our signals would be far more advanced than we are. [The Search for Intelligent Life: 4 Key Questions (Video)]

"Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they could reach," Hawking said in 2010 on an episode of "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking," a TV show that aired on the Discovery Channel. "If so, it makes sense for them to exploit each new planet for material to build more spaceships so they could move on. Who knows what the limits would be?"

Astrophysicist and science fiction author David Brin voiced similar concerns during the AAAS event, saying there's no reason to assume that intelligent aliens would be altruistic.

"This is an area in which discussion is called for," Brin said. "What are the motivations of species that they might carry with them into their advanced forms, that might color their cultures?"

Brin stressed that active SETI shouldn't be done in a piecemeal, ad hoc fashion by small groups of astronomers.

"This is something that should be discussed worldwide, and it should involve our peers in many other specialties, such as history," he said. "The historians would tell us, 'Well, gee, we have some examples of first-contact scenarios between advanced technological civilizations and not-so-advanced technological civilizations.' Gee, how did all of those turn out? Even when they were handled with goodwill, there was still pain."

Out there already

Vakoch and Shostak agreed that international discussion and cooperation are desirable. But Shostak said that achieving any kind of consensus on the topic of active SETI may be difficult. For example, what if polling reveals that 60 percent of people on Earth are in favor of the strategy, while 40 percent are opposed?

"Do we then have license to go ahead and transmit?" Shostak said. "That's the problem, I think, with this whole 'let's have some international discussion' [idea], because I don't know what the decision metric is."

Vakoch and Shostak also said that active SETI isn't as big a leap as it may seem at first glance: Our civilization has been beaming signals out into the universe unintentionally for a century, since the radio was invented.

"The reality is that any civilization that has the ability to travel between the stars can already pick up our accidental radio and TV leakage," Vakoch said. "A civilization just 200 to 300 years more advanced than we are could pick up our leakage radiation at a distance of several hundred light-years. So there are no increased dangers of an alien invasion through active SETI."

But Brin disputed this assertion, saying the so-called "barn door excuse" is a myth.

"It is very difficult for advanced civilizations to have picked us up at our noisiest in the 1980s, when we had all these military radars and these big television antennas," he said.

Shostak countered that a fear of alien invasion, if taken too far, could hamper humanity's expansion throughout the solar system, an effort that will probably require the use of high-powered transmissions between farflung outposts.

"Do you want to hamstring all that activity — not for the weekend, not just shut down the radars next week, or active SETI this year, but shut down humanity forever?" Shostak said. "That's a price I'm not willing to pay."

So the discussion and debate continues — and may continue for quite some time.

"This is the only really important scientific field without any subject matter," Brin said. "It's an area in which opinion rules, and everybody has a very fierce opinion."

What Do Gene Sequencing, Radio Astronomy And Particle Physics Have In Common?

What Do Gene Sequencing, Radio Astronomy And Particle Physics Have In Common?

Modern scientific discovery is driven by one thing, without which breakthroughs like gene sequencing, the search for the Higgs boson and dark matter and huge telescope arrays wouldn’t be possible – High Performance Computing (HPC).

With the computational might to blitz through millions of bytes of data, calculations and statistical possibilities, scientists were able to posit the existence of particles like the Higgs boson and campaign for expensive projects like the Large Hadron Collider – because they could show what they were looking for.

The same kind of processing power is what’s allowing the UK’s version of the Genome Project, attempting to sequence whole genomes rather than just excerpts known as exons, to go ahead.

Cambridge University has had HPC in one form or another for 18 years, from the old 80s supercomputer sitting in the middle of a room, to its modern new server facility, which is based on a large DellDell server cluster made up of 9.600 cores and four petabytes of storage running on a Hadoop platform and is currently getting its finishing touches after a £20m investment.

The university has one of the largest research and development budgets in the UK education sector, devoting 40 per cent of its £1438m annual revenue to funding advances in the fields of astronomy, genomics, medicine, physics and many more.

But its HPC time is also hired out to businesses in the nearby science and technology park, helping the university to pay for top IT support, while providing a valuable niche service to firms

Just a few years ago, that kind of commoditisation of HPC wouldn’t have been possible, Dr Paul Calleja, director of HPC Service at Cambridge, told visitors in a talk attended by Forbes.

“It used to be that a small number of users were eating up all the HPC power,” he said. “But now we have a long tail in HPC usage – modest amounts of HPC are now useful to many more people.”

That change is down to how much more computational power is available, but despite the value of Moore’s Law in increasing processor power, the growth in data volumes far outstrips it. Massive global science projects like CERN’s particle physics experiments and the Genome Project are creating a demand revolution that’s going to drive ever-increasing HPC, Dr Calleja reckons.

“I believe that the change now will be more fundamental than the change in the late 90s that ushered in the commoditisation of HPC,” he said.

Cambridge’s new data centre has 96 cabinets that can take a 1000kW to 2000kW IT load, but the university sees it as sufficient just for a two to five year growth plan. It’s going to have to be fast enough and powerful enough to process data from what is currently the world’s most ambitious IT project – the Square Kilometre Array.

This is the next generation radio telescope project to be built in Australia and South Africa, which will be 50 to 100 times more sensitive than any other radio instrument and require long-haul network links with a capacity greater than the current global Internet traffic as well as very high powered computing.

At the same time, Cambridge’s HPC Service will be catering to projects like the Bridge Genome Project, an attempt to study the gene sequencing of 10,000 people with rare genetic diseases.

"">

According to Willem Ouwehand, professor of experimental haematology at the university, genomics medicine is a multi-disciplinary field, employing physicists and mathematicians alongside nurses and biologists. In fact, a third of the people involved in gene research are actually working on the computational side.

The Bridge project is hoping to help advance the study of rare genetic diseases, which affect more than 300 million people in the world, but are extremely difficult for on-the-ground medical staff to diagnose.

Professor Ouwehand foresees a time when computers could help to support doctors’ diagnoses by holding a bank of data on diseases learned from gene sequencing. And this project can afford to sequence whole genomes instead of exons because of the commoditisation of the HPC Service at Cambridge, which has opened up the university’s budget.

And on top of that, Cambridge’s processors will also be continuing to run the mathematical models that predict the next particles that accelerators like the LHC might glimpse. Ron Horgan, professor in theoretical and mathematical physics, explained that the same sort of computational power needed to explore the far reaches of the Universe through astronomy are also needed to examine the most fundamental and smallest particles.

“The LHC has more than enough energy to prove the Standard Model of Physics and even go beyond that, but we believe there’s still more after that – that’s where HPC comes in,” he said.

Supercomputers run the mathematical models that predict where particles might appear and with enough verification, scientists can then start the search in the real world, as the LHC did with the Higgs boson.

"">

“Understanding physics using computers is a third discipline of the scientific method in addition to theory and experiment,” Horgan added.

This is all possible using Cambridge’s HPC Service now, but even more will be done as demand drives further innovation in HPC in the future, according to Dr Calleja.

“Tomorrow there will be large public data sets in the fields of science, linked to computing power and analytical methods and open to a broad research base of experts and non-experts alike,” he said.

“This democratisation of data will be what transforms the research process and this technological wonderland is on the horizon, I think.”

Russia has been looking at the possibility of creating its own space station by 2024. The country’s space agency, Roscosmos, says it is committed to the International Space Station until then, but then will unlock the modules to create its own base.

The proposed Russian space station would give the country’s space agency a platform to further its goals to explore the Moon, which is a priority for Roscosmos. The agency will look to study the Moon, using robotic equipment over the next decade with the goal of sending manned missions to the moon by 2030, Tass news agency reported the Science and Technology board for Roscosmos as stating. It will be partly built from segments from the old station, as well as adding new ones.

“Piloting cosmonauts is part of our general space strategy and today with have decided upon our main trajectory,” said Yury Koptev, a representative of the Science and Technology board, Tass reported. “This is through the International Space Station and working towards a lunar program in the Earth’s orbit and in deep space.”

Koptev added that the space agency will continue its research into the Moon and further space exploration in March, leading up to the board’s next meeting.

“The configuration of a multi-purpose laboratory module, a [docking] node module and a scientific power module [would] create a promising Russian space station to meet the challenges of providing secure access to space,” a statement from the agency read, according to Tass.

Roscosmos's Science and Technology board have been looking at the possibility of piloting astronauts till 2030.

The possibility of creating a Russian stand-alone space station was first confirmed by Oleg Ostapenko, the head of Roscosmos, in December.

“There is this option. We are making calculations at the moment,” Ostapenko said, when asked about the possible project.

The International Space Station Over Earth. (Credit: STS-128 Crew, NASA)

He added that a national space station would be “a step forward” for Russia and may serve “a number of different purposes,” for instance as a transfer point for the Russian lunar exploration program.

Russia has had its own space station in the past. This was until 2001, when the Mir space station was deorbited, splashing down into the Pacific Ocean after spending more than 5,500 days in space. Russia cited the age of the station and the high operational costs as the reasons for the decision.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who supervises defense-related policies, has said Moscow could discontinue its segment of the International Space Station (ISS) after 2020. He added that “the Russian segment [of the ISS] can exist independently from the American one, but the American segment cannot exist without the Russian.”

Russia’s decision to continue its cooperation with the International Space Station will come as a relief to the other partners involved in the program. There had been uncertainty whether Russia would continue following western sanctions introduced against the country. Russia is currently the only nation capable of getting astronauts to and from the ISS, following the disbanding of NASA’s space shuttle program.

The US stated over a year ago that it will continue to back the ISS and keep it operational at least until 2024, with the possibility to extend its mission to 2028, the 30-year anniversary of the launch of the outpost’s first module.

A television crew captured this astonishing footage which appears to show a purple disc-shaped UFO hovering about a city construction site. The production crew in Lima, Peru, were filming a programe when they interrupted it in order to focus on what appears to be a ‘UFO’ hovering over the city. The purple-colored disc-shaped object can be seen hovering in the sky near a construction site, but so far, there has been no official explanation for the object.

The unidentified purple object was seen above this construction site - it can be seen just under the crane

According to Peru This Week, television show 'Alto al Crimen' - an investigative program aimed at preventing high level crime - was shooting an episode in the upscale Miraflores district of Lima on February 10 when they spotted the unusual object.

The show's host, Lima Congressman Renzo Reggiardo, halted an interview in order to allow his camera operator to focus on the strange-looking purple object in the sky.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing the object hovering over the city for up to two hours.

Thousands of people have taken to social media to discuss what they think the mysterious purple object is and the video has already been viewed more than 100,000 times.

The Raelian movement, a UFO religion, are delighted by the spotting and claim the UFO is somehow linked to their initiative to persuade the Peruvian government to build an extraterrestrial embassy in the country

Some suggest it is a drone or kite or a hologram projected into the sky.

Other people believe it could be proof of extraterrestrial life, while one person said that they think it is a 'plastic bag'.

Adding more mystery to the UFO sighting are claims that the UFO is somehow linked to an initiative currently underway by the Raelian movement - a UFO religion - to persuade the Peruvian government to build an extraterrestrial embassy, reports The Examiner.

Erich Rever of the Peruvian Raelian Movement said: 'This UFO appeared right when we held a press conference to present our embassy project plan, which we have submitted to the Peruvian government.

'Peru must be dear to our extraterrestrial creators, who lived here in ancient times and left many traces, so we're asking the government for permission to build the embassy here.

'It's a wonderful opportunity for Peruvians to understand their past and, more importantly, to consider receiving our creators, the Elohim, who were taken for gods by our ancestors and now ask to be welcomed back.

'We're hoping the Peruvian government will receive their request loud and clear!'

The Peru chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is investigating and says it is seeking more eyewitnesses who may have videotaped the purple aerial object from different vantage points.

Early AM February 24, 2015 (late pm February 23) a very large fireball meteor appeared in the skies over Montana, Idaho, Washington, Colorado, Utah, and Oregon.

The fireball spotted streaking across the night sky late on Monday in the western United States was almost certainly the body of a rocket used by

China in December to launch a satellite, an astronomer said on Tuesday.

Residents in Rocky Mountain states such as Idaho, Utah and Montana reported seeing the rocket as it disintegrated in the atmosphere about 70 miles (113 km) above Earth, said Chris Anderson, manager of the Centennial Observatory at the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls.

The rocket, which was orbiting Earth about every 87 minutes, made an early appearance elsewhere and in fiery fashion likely because its orientation may have changed.

The old saying goes “Diamond are a girl’s best friend” but the question is, what’s with the Diamond UFOs over New York?

It was a little after 9 p.m. on September 27th, 2014 Hank, a Buffalo, NY resident went outside for a cigarette. While gazing at the crystal clear southern sky he observed a diamond UFO traversing the sky.

“As I was watching the object slowly move from east to west, suddenly it stopped and appeared to hover. Then object’s five orange-ish tint lights dimmed briefly and the diamond UFO just winked out and wasn’t seen again.”

In another sighting on Long Island in the town of Commack, NY, a resident was watching television when he noticed a bright light out of his living room window. He tells us that he went outside to his porch to get a better look and saw a bright diamond UFO traveling from North to South.

“It appeared to be about 1/16 the size of the moon.”

While he was watching the object, he was stunned to see a second diamond UFO following the first one he had seen.

“Both of the objects stopped, seemed to hover then suddenly went straight up and out of sight. The whole sighting last perhaps four minutes”

Records prior to 1950 report virtually no diamond UFO sightings. The decades of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s sport sighting levels with an average of about two sightings per decade. Around the year 2001, diamond UFO sightings suddenly spiked to eight and leveled off to a little under a dozen per year.

Then in 2009, diamond UFO sightings rose substantially; these UFOs began appearing in New York Skies at a rate of about a dozen a year, as evidenced by the following chart.

At first this reporter thought this rise in sightings might be an artifact of reporting. After a quick analysis of other classes of UFOs, I determined that a variety of other types of UFOs were relative constant in numbers from year to year except for a gradual rising trend in overall sightings. So in my opinion, this large increase of diamond UFO sightings is a relatively recent occurrence and needs to be studied.

World sightings for diamond shaped UFOs have obviously been on the rise. But the story gets bigger when we begin looking at the global numbers. For example, the combined diamond UFO sightings reported to both the MUFON and NUFORC for 2014 total about 234 globally; giving New York State about 3% of the world diamond UFO sightings. I hope other investigators in the UFO research community will continue to monitor these increasing numbers.

Two of the most notorious UFO photos of all time were taken on a farm near Mcminnville by a farmer named Paul A. Trent. Beyond many such cases, these two photos have withstood the test of time--through generations of researchers.

McMinnville, Oregon - May 11, 1950: Two of the most notorious UFO photos of all time were taken on a farm near Mcminnville by a farmer named Paul A. Trent. Beyond many such cases, these two photos have withstood the test of time--through generations of researchers. It could be said that this case specified the boiling point for the heated ongoing debate over what qualifies as physical evidence--at least when it comes to the subject of UFOs.

Mrs. Trent was outside getting finished feeding her rabbits, when she noticed the large, disc-shaped object approaching from the northeast. She called out to Mr. Trent who joined her to look at the mystery device. After a few moments, he went back in the house to get his camera. He got back out and picked a spot to stand and took the first picture, then wound the film for the next picture. (That was typically a time consuming process with a 1950 box camera.) Several minutes later, he took the other.

In the meantime, Mrs. Trent called out to her in-laws on their porch, about 400 feet away. They didn't hear her, so she ran into the house to call them on the telephone. Mrs. Trent's mother-in-law didn't get to see it because it disappeared by the time she was off of the phone, but Mrs. Trent's father-in-law did catch a glimpse of it just before it disappeared in the west.

Mr. Trent waited to finish the roll of film before he got the pictures developed. They were displayed nearly a month later in a local bank. (The Trents' banker worked there.) A reporter named Powell, who worked for the McMinnville Telephone Register, saw the photos and convinced the Trents to let him publish their story and photographs. However, it did take a bit of coaxing because the Trent's feared they might get in some kind of trouble with the government.

The photographs and story wound up in the June 26, 1950 issue of Life, who borrowed the negatives from Powell. The Trents didn't get the negatives back for another 17 years. They were requested for examination by the Condon investigation in the late 1960's, and after that analysis was done, they were finally sent back to Mr. Trent.

The first people to examine the negatives found no signs of manipulation of the negative and no visible means of support for the UFO pictured, and so it has remained, for over half a century. No scientific study of this case has ever revealed anything that contradicts the witnesses or their fortunate photos. (NURMUFO)

On May 6, 1978, at about 4:15 p.m., something crashed into a mountain near El Taire on the Bermejo River, the border between the Bolivian province of Tarija and Argentina. Thousands of people saw this happening and later described the object as being cylindrical in shape with a flaming tail. It had caused a supersonic bang that was heard up to 150 miles away.

On May 6, 1978, at about 4:15 p.m., something crashed into a mountain near El Taire on the Bermejo River, the border between the Bolivian province of Tarija and Argentina. Thousands of people saw this happening and later described the object as being cylindrical in shape with a flaming tail. It had caused a supersonic bang that was heard up to 150 miles away and that cracked windowpanes as far away as 30 miles in every direction. The next day, the papers were speculating on what had come down in that godforsaken place. The explanations ranged from meteorites to UFOs and belated reentry of some Apollo capsule. All of them referred to statements of eye witnesses.

Then it was announced that the Argentinian authorities had sent the 20th unit of the border police to the area in question to look for wreckage on their side of the border. The search in that mountainous country could last for weeks, so swarms of reporters went to the nearest big town, Aguas Blancas, to take up quarters there and await further developments, as well as to interview eyewitnesses in the town. And in fact, there were a number of witnesses who claimed to have seen the object. Most of them described it as oval or cylindrical and metallic. The army, too, seemed to be convinced that it was a UFO. Corporal Natalio Farfan Ruiz, the commandant of a small border police unit at the little village of La Marmora (800 inhabitants), confirmed the crash to Argentinian reporters saying: "It was about 4:30 p.m. when a cylindrical object made the earth tremble. Just imagine what would have happened if the UFO had fallen on the houses!" Policeman Juan Hurtado had also seen what had happened: "It looked like a gigantic wine container emitting a trace of white smoke. I saw it clearly. It flew directly above my head. I was on duty and at that moment was talking with three engineers from the mine in La Paz, when we saw the object crashing into the El Taire mountain. The impact was so strong that it threw me to the ground. The earth trembled at that moment."

Finally, the Bolivian Air Force sent three single-motored AT6 airplanes—a model from World War II—to the area and discovered the crash site on the southern slope of the El Taire mountain. Whereas the pilots found it impossible to land anywhere near it, the newspaper Clarin of Buenos Aires announced on May 14, that the object had been found. As proof, they quoted the police chief of Tarija: "Our men have discovered the object and inspected it, but have received no instructions for further action. It is a dull metallic cylinder twelve feet long with a few dents. No one knows what is inside it, and we are awaiting the arrival of various technical commissions. A NASA expert is also expected to arrive tomorrow morning."

As a matter of fact, no NASA expert came at Tarija.-Instead, two U.S. Air Force officers, Col. Robert Simmons and Maj. John Heise arrived. According to a newspaper, although these officers were officially on leave, they had been instructed to take the object to the United States in a Hercules C-130 transport machine, which was waiting for them at La Paz. When other newspapers made inquiries at the American Embassy regarding this secret mission of Simmons and Heise they were met with a denial. Only two years later, 5 relevant documents were released by the U.S. State Department: they revealed that Simmons and Heise had been assigned to the military attache of the U.S. Embassy in La Paz and did, in fact, fly to Tarija accompanied by an officer of the Bolivian Air Force, in connection with Project Moon Dust.

The first of these documents was a telex sent by the U.S. Ambassador in Bolivia, Paul H. Boeker, to the State Department. In that, he quoted newspaper reports and requested the department "to ask the relevant agencies whether they could explain what this object could be," adding "during the last week, more and more UFO reports are coming from this region." The answer was a telex classified "secret" dated May 18 in which the U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance personally declared: "Preliminary information has been checked with appropriate government agencies. No direct correlation with known space objects that may have reentered the earth's atmosphere near May 6 can be made. However we are continuing to examine any possibilities."

He then referred the embassy to "State aerogram A-6343" of July 26, 1973, classified 'Secret,' "which provides background information and guidance for dealing with space objects. In particular any information pertaining to the pre-impact observations, direction of trajectory, number of objects observed, time of impact and detailed description, including any markings would be helpful." The next document was a "Moon Dust Message" of the office of the U.S. military attache, dated May 24, addressed to the Division for Foreign Technologies at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base and the headquarters of the U.S. Air Force at the Pentagon, classified as "confidential NOFORN (No Forwarding To Foreign Nationals)." Under reference Moon Dust, the military attache at La Paz reported that "they had taken pains to verify the press reports. " In addition to that, they had asked the general staff of the Bolivian Air Force and the chiefs of the Bolivian Army who had declared—apparently after a first unsuccessful attempt— "we have sent search troops to the area in question but have found nothing. " The army came to the conclusion that there could have been an object there, or maybe not, but to date they had found nothing. The attache added that he would send two officials to Tarija and promised, "We will keep you informed if anything turns up. " These "two officials," we can assume, were Simmons and Heise.

Regrettably, no further reports concerning the Simmons-Heise expedition were released and, to get a picture of what happened, we are forced to rely on reports in the Argentinian press. Apparently, however, nobody came to the conclusion that a meteorite had hit the earth. At the world-famous Smithsonian Institution there is a data bank of scientific occurrences, or an "alarm network," that keeps track of every volcanic eruption, every earthquake and every meteorite collision since 1973 with painstaking accuracy. The data bank reveals no mention of a meteorite falling during May 1978 at the Bolivian-Argentinian border. The Air Force documents reveal that the 1127th field activities group, which coordinated Project Moon Dust, was interested in another task besides the recoveiy of UFO wrecks and other space objects, represented by the code name HUMINT. This code name, short for Human Intelligence, means the collection of information from human sources through clandestine undercover methods—in contrast to interrogations, reading through files and correspondence, etc. In other words, it meant the collection of information about UFOs from reliable sources through a game of deceit. The method which was chosen to achieve HUMINTs goals was so bizarre that nobody outside the UFO community would believe it. It was the birth of the "Men In Black," subject of a Hollywood blockbuster movie in 1997.

In August 1993, 27-year-old Kelly Cahill, her husband and three children were driving home after a visit to a friend's house. After midnight the Cahills first noticed the lights of a rounded craft with windows around it. It silently hovered above the road. Different colored lights were clearly visible on the bottom of the object.

B.J. Booth/ UFO Casebook

In August 1993, 27-year-old Kelly Cahill, her husband and three children were driving home after a visit to a friend's house. Their routine journey would soon become a harrowing trip into an unknown world of strange beings that occupied space but were void of color as we know it.

As a scientist I am always aware of the maxim that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. To date Mainstream UFO events have revealed some compelling evidence for their physical reality. The challenge for researchers has always been to determine if that evidence is consistent with an alien reality. Comparable evidence to support the reality of abduction events has been lacking Or relatively uncompelling.

In my two decades of research into Australian abduction claims, it has been difficult not to hold the position that abduction cases have perhaps told me more about the human condition than they have about UFOs. What follows, however, is a report On an affair which may amount to evidence for a reality behind abduction reports.

Kelly Cahill, a 27 -year-old housewife and mother of three children, is a pivotal figure in a remarkable episode which may have much to tell experiencers and researchers alike. She contacted me on October 4, 1993, seeking assistance in understanding a bizarre experience she underwent near the outer Melbourne suburban housing estate of Narre Warren North, in the foothills of the Dandenongs, Victoria, between Belgrave and Fountain Gate, during the early hours of August 8, 1993.

Kelly told me that apart from her husband with her in their car, she was aware of another vehicle farther down the hill from their own position. That car contained at least two persons, a man and a woman. She paid little heed to them at the time because she and her husband had their attention riveted on a massive UFO which had landed in the field opposite them.

Because Kelly lived in Victoria and I live in New South Wales, I passed details of Kelly's experience on to John Auchettl of Phenomena Research Australia (PRA) and urged Kelly to contact him. PRA got on the case immediately .

By November 17 PRA had located the man and woman Kelly had seen that night. It turned out that the couple also had a friend (a woman) with them. These witnesses took Auchettl to the encounter site, to a spot consistent with Kelly's description. The group's drawings of the UFO and entities also closely coincide with Kelly' s.

Here we have a striking situation. Two groups of persons unknown to each other have witnessed the same UFO encounter and entities. They also experienced missing time, and each group has been available to competent investigators. Independent witnesses have provided information which enable cross-checking and correlations to reveal a remarkable amount of similar information. The result is a compelling case for the reality of the strange events.described. The ontological status of the events is further strengthened by a range of apparently related physical traces, including ground traces, a magnetic anomaly, and effects on some of the witnesses.

What is perhaps even more extraordinary about this case is that the second group described seeing yet another car parked farther back down from them. In it was (it appeared) one male who seemed to be gazing fixedly toward the encounter site. So we have the situation of three cars present: Kelly and her husband in one near the top of a hill, the three-person group (Bill, Jan, and Glenda) another 150 meters down the hill, and the other car, with one visible occupant, about 25 to 30 meters farther back.

The first two cars were parked with their lights off. The other had its lights on. This circumstance may explain an apparent anomaly, in that Kelly was able to glance down and spot the second car, with what to her seemed only two persons (in fact three), but the group of three could not see Kelly, her husband, or their car. It was a dark and cloudy night. Evidently Kelly could see the second car only because it was backlit by the headlights of the third car.

From the trio' s testimony, investigators could determine the location of this third car. The male was looking at the UFO's position through a break in the vegetation cover. The trio's evidence coupled with Kelly' s allowed for triangulation of the encounter site with the UFO. The location was consistent with the anomalies discovered (to be discussed later). Unfortunately, this potential additional witness has yet to be found.

Typically witnesses to these sorts of events are known to each other, and such relationships often beg the question of whether the witnessed events have emerged from shared delusions or even collusion. Through Auchettl, Kelly became aware of the independent witnesses, but they knew nothing of her existence until quite recently. Kelly tried hard to persuade Auchettl to give her the other group' s names, but he refused because he wanted to maintain the integrity of the testimony. Only when the investigation was completed did the three learn what Kelly had been saying. So far they have not attempted to contact her. PRA has uncovered no evidence of a previous connection between the Cahills and the other group.

After the encounter Kelly' s recollection faded from conscious memory, despite animated discussions about it with her husband in the immediate wake of the incident. Her husband remembered at least the UFO encounter but not the entities and has not acknowledged the missing time. It was her husband' s reference to the August 8 event at a barbecue on September 16 that led to Kelly's initial confused attempts to reconcile this troubling situation. Kelly found this temporary amnesia along, especially since she has vivid memories going all the way back to age two.

Other events began to be seen in a different and bizarre perspective. These included a "dream" she had immediately after the encounter, upon getting home and going to sleep on August 8, and two "dreamings" in September. Each involved (apparently) the same entities as those encountered on the road. The latter two "dreamings" had a strange physical dimension. A further two "dreamings" followed, one on October 23 and the last during January 1994.

Alarmed, Kelly sought help with little success from universities and aviation authorities. The latter gave her two UFO contact numbers, one in Victoria and mine in Sydney.

After getting no satisfaction from the Victorian group, she contacted me, and after our preliminary discussion of her experience, the PRA investigation commenced.

What follows is the transcript of an interview Kelly gave to my associate Robb Tilley on March 21 of this year.

The details are consistent with those recounted to me on October 4, 1993, in numerous conversations with me since then, with the PRA investigation, and with a manuscript she is writing about her experience.

THE INCIDENT

My husband and I were driving to my girl friend's place up in the mountains. It was her daughter's . . . birthday.

It was just after dark, and we were nearly there, about half an hour from her place. It takes us about an hour and a half from our place. It was just after 7.

[The area has] little bits of field . . . and then you run right into a major shopping centre. . . .

My husband drives really fast. . . . I'm just busy looking out the window . It's turned dark, and I look over towards this field as we are going past, and I see a ring of orange lights. It was the first time I ever thought I had seen something that wasn' t normal. . . . I was going to shut my mouth. I thought, "No, he' s just going to have a go at me." But a couple of minutes up the road I said, "I swear I saw a UFO." He said, "Don't be stupid! It was probably a helicopter." I said, "It wasn't making any noise. It was just sitting on the ground. Anyway, after a few jibes at me, he forgot all about it, and we arrived at [my girl friend's place].

When we were there, my friends bring up this conversation, about what I thought I had seen. Her father says, "You think you've seen little green men or something, . Kelly?" and all this sort of stuff. It was turned into a joke, and I just totally forgot about it.

We went out and played bingo. We came back. We had a bit of a problem about what time we left. As far as my husband's concerned, because we got home at 2:30 in the morning, it means we must have left at one o'clock.

But that night I think we left at a quarter to 12. We got back from bingo at about 1 1, and we didn't stay for very long because [my friend's] daughter' s boy friend had just . . . split up with her and had gone home with the new girl friend . . . and she was really upset and crying, and we didn't want to stay. So we weren't there for that long at all.

THE ENCOUNTER BEGINS

Anyway, we were driving back down the road in the same stretch. Both of us,just me and my husband . . . we both saw this ring, mind you ... . in front of us, hovering above the road. It was just something sitting there. . . . I couldn't tell what it was. We were at first far away, but as you got closer to it was sort of . . . well, it wasn't like the orange light in the field. It was a round shape with some sort of glass around, or what looked like windows and lights around the bottom. Because it was dark, you couldn't really tell at first. But as we got closer and closer, there was no noise or anything.

Even my husband's going. "You're right! That's something. That's very, very strange." And I swear we saw people in there, and then just as I said to him, "I swear there's people in there," it just shot off to the left as fast as it could go. I mean it just disappeared. Within a split second it had gone.

We kept driving and about a kilometre ahead, all of a sudden, there's this really, really bright light in front of us, and I've got my hand up, up above my brow, to look out the window, because it's that bright, but I can't see anything.

I said to [my husband], "What are you going to do?" He said, "l'm going to keep driving." From there, that is the last we remembered until . . . I knew I was going to see a UFO, you know, I just knew, because of what we had seen, I'd seen it twice in one night and he had seen it once . . . and the adrenalin is pumping, the heart is thumping, I'm so excited. All of a sudden I'm sitting in the car, and I'm saying to my husband, "What happened?" And he says to me, "I don't know. We must have gone around a corner or something." By the time we got home, he was definite of everything, but at that time he didn't know what happened either. I said to him, "I swear I've had a blackout," because adrenalin just doesn't disappear in a split second like that. I mean your heart is going mad! And all of a sudden. . . .

One thing that really annoyed me was that I could smell vomit. I couldn't figure out where the smell of vomit was coming from.

I argue about this half the way home until it started getting ridiculous, and I ended up just shutting up to stop all the fighting that was going to come out of it, you know, because we fight like cats and dogs. . . .

As we were getting close to our home, about 20 minutes away from where we live (there was no one on the road), I saw a figure standing on the side of the road a tall dark figure. It was only for a couple of seconds, and I didn't relate it to anything until much later on at all. But it made me turn my head. I kept it in my mind, because it reminded me of a story I was told when I was a little girl about the headless horseman on the side of the road . . .because it was on the side of the road. It wasn't headless or anything,just this tall black figure. I saw it for only a couple of seconds, and then I couldn't see it anymore, but I thought I saw it.

POST ENCOUNTER FALLOUT

I get home. That night I actually had a dream about UFOs to top it all off, that something happened . . . but a whole lot of it went out of my head.

Kelly and her husband argued about what happened for part of the way home. They agree they saw a UFO but cannot agree on the feeling Kelly had of experiencing a blackout or missing time and seeing people. They also could both smell vomit. Each experienced unexplained stomach pain. For Kelly it was like a pain from severe muscle fatigue which radiated from her lower abdomen to the upper shoulders.

Later, after they got home, Kelly experienced menstrual bleeding and became quite ill. She had had her period only the week before. Eventually she entered the hospital with a womb infection. The doctors there said she must have been pregnant; either that, or she had had some kind of gynaecological operation. In fact, she had had neither in recent times. A strange triangular mark was also found on her abdomen along with a scar.

Kelly elaborated on these matters: But when I got home that night, that's when I found the triangular mark below my navel, with what I thought was a little laparoscopy cut, and I also started bleeding that night. Three and a half weeks later I ended up in hospital... . . [The hospital] actually did a laparoscopy, another laparoscopy. This was not when I first went in. I went back in later, another six weeks after that, because I had a lot of pains in my stomach and just wanted to have it checked to see what it was. And I still had the triangular mark there. . . .

They just did a blooming laparoscopy cut right next to it. [There was] no comment whatsoever. . . . I have a letter from a friend saying that she saw it.

CONSCIOUS RECOLLECTIONS

Kelly's recollections did not come from any hypnosis. Indeed she had only one session well after the main investigation had been completed. It failed to reveal anything of significance. Feeling that at best she had been only lightly under, she felt the session had been of little value.

With regard to the August 8 encounter, she recalls crossing the road to the paddock, seeing at first one tall black being with glowing red eyes, then many. These latter seemed to be approaching rapidly, as if gliding. The large group of tall black beings apparently were split into two groups, one focused on Kelly and her husband, the other one on the other people who had also crossed farther down the road. The rest of her recollection is largely confusing and fragmented. She experienced voices and blindness.

Kelly elaborated on how her memory came back: We went down to a girl friend's place a little bit later, a few weeks later, and the subject of UFOs came up, and her husband was saying, "Oh, I don't think they really exist." It was my husband that said, "If you had seen what Kelly and I saw, you might change your mind." I said, "What are you talking about?" You know, if I'd seen something, I'd have remembered it. I didn't even remember that I had seen it hovering in the middle of the road. It had been totally blanked out of my mind. And I search my head for days, because I knew he wouldn't say something if he didn't mean it. He was telling me, "Remember, on the way home from [your girl friend's], remember, it wasn't making any noise?" And I was just sitting there. I couldn't remember it.

And a few days later, all of a sudden I remembered it! It hit me! And .. . . then I remembered going into the light, and then I couldn't remember anything else. A couple of weeks after that, this started to really bug me, because I remembered that light, and I remember arguing with him all the wayhome, but it was all I did remember.

I went up to [my girl friend's] house again in October, this time for her other daughter's . . .birthday, and again we went to bingo. On the way home from bingo that night, we went along the same road, and as we passed a certain spot I just got this incredible feeling of terror go through me, I mean absolute terror. All of a sudden I just started remembering, and by the next morning I had remembered just about everything that happened, except there's still missing time that I can't.

What we had actually done, we had driven . . . into the light, but the road curved, and the light we had thought was in front of us was actually to our right-hand side. It was in the field, and it was massive. . . . [Estimates put the possible diameter of the UFO at the "size of a house" or perhaps close to 5O meters.] So it was very big.Why I knew it was very big was because we could have driven for five minutes. The road sort of wound around this part.

You could have driven for five minutes and not had it out of your sight the whole time.

Kelly and her husband had a clear, uninterrupted view of a craft of enormous size. It was much larger than the UFO seen a few minutesearlier, and it was at ground level in the field at the bottom of a gully area.

I asked him to stop the car, and we both got out. I remembered leaning back in, actually on the floor, to pick up my handbag, because I didn't go anywhere without my handbag. And that' s one of the sort of things that triggered off a lot of these memories doing that. The other thing was telling myself, "You are conscious. This is real! This is happening! This is real!". . . .

For a while it was just absolutely terrifying, but you can't help it because it sounds really wacky. I mean this is not the way it's supposed to happen at all. . . .

We crossed over the road. We jumped the gutter, and we walked up. . .I looked down the road, and there was another car-a light blue car-pulled up. Some people got out and went across the road. I only thought it was two, but it was actually three, but I didn' t pay much attention. They must have been at least a hundred meters down the road from us. When you've got something like that in front of you, and you' we got people down the road . . . well, I was more interested in what was in front of me than them, so I didn't get any detail. . . .

I'm standing there, and we are looking at this thing [for about 3O seconds]. All of a sudden there is a black figure on the field. It's about seven foot tall. . . . I knew it was really tall at the time.

For Kelly this was quite startling. She expected to see a human being, but this was not human. Kelly tried to use thought as a means of communication. She was immediately overwhelmed with fear. Its eyes seemed to turn to a red fire.

At the distance of about 150 meters, they possessed an extraordinary luminosity .

It started coming towards us, only slowly, and it had big red eyes. It sounds stupid, but it had great big round red eyes, like huge flies' eyes and they were red like, not like a reflection of red, but like burning red, like . . . fluorescent stop lights, I suppose, that sort of real burning red.

All of a sudden I started screaming out [to my husbands. . . . Now this has really got me baffled because of the fact that a human being doesn't know this, so I don't even know how I came out with this, but I started saying, "They've got no souls." And then I started screaming, "THEY'VE GOT NO SOULS!" Then all of a sudden there were heaps of them in the field, not just one, a whole heap of them, and they started coming towards us . . . faster than a man could run, and they were gliding off the ground. They got halfway across the field.

They split up. Some of them went towards the other people [two or three, Kelly thought]. and some of them [the rest] came towards us. Kelly found herself screaming to the other people down the road, "They're evil! They're going to kill us!"

The next thing I know, I felt this oomph! in my stomach, right across here like I was winded, but I was thrown right back, and I was on my back on the ground. I sat up, with my head between my knees. Here, I'm trying to stay conscious. I couldn't see. My eyes. . . . It was all black.

.. . . I'm screaming out to [my husband]. . . .

Kelly speculated that her "winding" may have been caused by an electric fence present at the site. That may or may not be true. The fence may not even have been on at the time. Even if it was, the power may not have been strong enough to generate the effect she described. Nonetheless this possibly prosaic incident led her into confusion over whether the forces she was confronting were "good" or "evil."

But the next thing I heard him saying, "Let go of me." His voice was all sort of cracked up with fear, and I'd never heard that from my husband. He's not frightened or afraid of anything. . . .

Then this male voice said, "We [don't] mean you any harm." And then he said, "Why did you hit Kelly then?" That's the last I heard of [my husband]. No one else talked except me. I heard the male voice. Then I heard myself saying, "Oh, God, I'm going to be sick." I've got my head between my knees, and I just felt, like, violently nauseous. Then I must have blacked out for a little while.

I don't remember being sick. Then I remember hearing talk about being a peaceful people, and I started screaming out, I said, "Don't believe them! They're going to steal your souls!" I know it sounds so ridiculous now, but at the time I was hysterically terrified. . . . I had never felt terror like that. Not even in my worst nightmares had I experienced terror like that. . . .

Oh, there's one thing I remember that he said: "I wouldn't harm her. She's my daughter." Now when I first saw the-on the way up to [my girl friend's] in the field, the first thing I did was pray. And I took it as sarcasm straight away. And it sounded like sarcasm. . . .

It sounded like there was even a small laugh after that. I don't know-it just wasn't good to me.

For Kelly, a strong faith in God often involved an ability to get answers to many of life's situations, albeit sometimes in the most subtle and unlikely ways. For her the brief observation of a possible UFO on the way to her girl friend's place on August 7 was perhaps a glimpse of one of life's mysteries, perhaps even a lesson from God. So she made a silent prayer which began with "Father." She thought for a moment, "Wait for me. I'll be back down this way in a few hours." To put this in context, it should be pointed out that Kelly had long been on a spiritual quest, anchored in a religious journey and a desire to understand the great mysteries.

Though she had little time for organized religions, she had a deep interest in the great religious works and had studied them, particularly the Bible, in great detail. Therefore, given her brief prayer for clarification of the nature of the UFO event on the way up to her friend, as well as the use of the word Father, she got a sense of "mockery" when she heard the voice saying, "She is my daughter."

Anyway, I started screaming and going on about demons trying to steal people's souls. . . . I like not to admit that it came from my mouth, but it did. . . . But I'm going to tell it the way it is.

Next thing I hear him saying, "Would somebody do something about .her?" And I felt a hand . . . touch my shoulder. It wasn't hard. It was quite gentle.That's when I absolutely cracked! I'm still sitting on the ground, and I couldn't see a thing, but I made sure that my eyes were just fierce. . . . Something snapped in me. Before that I was crying. All of a sudden something snapped in me, and I got so angry . Then I started screaming out, "How dare you do this to these innocent people?" Like it was my fault. Because I was on a big spiritual search, and I really got the impression that it was my fault. And I thought, why involve other people?. . . I felt like, almost like there was a fight for me. Like it was something I had to do. . . .

Anyway, I started screaming out stupid things, told them to go back where they came from. Next thing I remember I was sitting in the car. I've still got missing time.

When she found herself sitting in the car, her last memory was of driving into the light.

THE DREAM OF AUGUST 8, 1993

Once she was home and asleep, the night brought a bizarre dream. This dream is of interest in that it emerged within hours of the encounter and it places Kelly back in the encounter. The subsequent "dreamings" do not have this quality about them. Nonetheless they were unusual in their own way, for reasons that will shortly be apparent.

In the August 8 dream she is on the side of the road with her head between her knees. She becomes aware that she can see again. A being is leading her husband down the slope onto the field. Throughout the dream she is unable to see the beings above the level of their elbows. Their limbs seem long and thin.

Inexplicably convinced that the being with her husband is female, she tackles it and then blacks out. In the dream she once again regains consciousness to find herself on the extreme right of the field with the UFO further down the field to the left. Before her on the ground is a still body, at first nonhuman, then changing to human. A middle-aged woman standing further down the field is screaming at her, "Murderess! Murderess!" She is overcome with grief with no awareness of having killed anyone.

Still in the dream, a hand on her shoulder leads her, and she follows obediently. Eventually Kelly becomes aware that she is in a small room, with only a small table and a being standing before her. The being tells her she did not kill anyone and they had to use her sense of morality to overcome her fear. Kelly has a profound feeling that she knows this being. On a table behind the being is a Bible, one of hers, which had disappeared a few weeks before. The being gives Kelly a strange choice which deepens her suspicion of the beings' motives. She is told she can come but must leave the Bible behind. In the dream the being gives her this Bible.

The dream ends at that point. A few days after the encounter, her husband found the Bible in the car.

The "dreamings" mentioned earlier, first interpreted as something like a ghostly episode, take on a bizarre perspective when Kelly's recollections flooded back. The first two preceded the point when more complete recall of the events of August 8 returned.

THE "DREAMINGS"

The first started with a presence which warns her to be calm. Then a frightening "sucking" sensation begins as if something is being taken from her. She comes out of the dream terrified and is confronted by a tall black figure in a floor length hooded cloak, about seven feet tall, with glowing red eyes. She screams, and the being disappears.

Initially Kelly interpreted the being as like a "soul vampire" or the Grim Reaper. At the time she did not place this incident in a UFO context, since the memories had yet to resurface.

In the second "dreaming" she experiences her legs being lifted and drawn out of the bed. She wakes and once again finds the same or similar being present, but this time the cloak obscures the eyes.

When after I did remember it, I had another dream, and these dreams seemed very physical. I know I'm dreaming, and I've got to wake up out of them. . . .

In this particular one, I felt as if my legs were being pulled off the bed, and it was like I was paralysed from my waist down, and my legs were being pulled over to the side; yet I could almost use the top of my body. Then I'm grabbing a pillow, trying to hit my husband, to wake him up. . . . I'm fighting this. I'm not going to let this thing drag me off the bed by my legs. Then I woke up and saw it standing there again! This time the hood covered the eyes, and it didn't scare me. . . . I was still terrified, but it didn't scare me quite as much, because each time it scared me, it was that same power like I felt out in the field that night.

When I was sitting on the ground, it was like something, almost like a frequency or a sound vibration or something. And it's getting right into my head! And I couldn't get it together. Like I was trying to get my logical thoughts together, not logical, almost conscious thoughts, and I was fighting it the whole time, which is probably why I seemed to remember more than my husband or even the other people.

The third "dreaming" occurred at a friend' s place on October23 (see front cover). By then Kelly had experienced the flood of recollections. The two earlier "dreamings" took on an added significance, especially given the presence of the beings after Kelly had awakened from her "dreamings." This time she wakes from a "dreaming" which seems to take the form of a "peak experience" (as psychologist Abraham Maslow calls it; Richard Maurice Bucke defined it as the sense of"cosmic consciousness"). She sees apparently the same creature as before; but unlike earlier manifestations, it is naked and leaning over her as if about to kiss her navel area. It is tall, with a head much larger than normal, long and thin arms, with an abdomen out of proportion to its thin frame, like a child's stomach suffering from malnutrition.

Its skin is like gray-black plasticine. Kelly's screams turn into an "uninterrupted stream of hysteria" and words.

In the morning she insisted that her husband check under the car. She had heard a distinct voice during the night urging such a check. He ignored her request, but their car subsequently suffered such a problem.

Numerous other "psychic" events and "electrical disturbances" followed. Frequently their car started up when no one was inside it. The vehicle had a kill switch which rendered these events even more startling and curious. Kelly thought she had developed enhanced psychic powers. The electrical events apparently ended in January 1994, as did many of the psychic incidents.

The fourth "dreaming" occurred in January of this year.

In the dream the bathroom light is blown. There is a sense of presence. Something persistently tries to grab Kelly's right hand. Eventually she lets her hand be taken. Immediately she wakes up. Once again the creature in the black robe is standing by her bedside. It goes away. It turned out that the light had indeed blown and that diamond and sapphire rings .she wore on her right hand had disappeared. To date they have not been found.

OTHER MATTERS

Other, earlier episodes, experiences, and issues of possible significance: . From July through September 1993 small orange fireballs, about the size of tennis balls, frequently hit the windows of the house. Kelly, her husband, and her mother witnessed the phenomena.

o About two and a half years earlier, at Lalor, Kelly had a peculiar dream in which she moved through a flesh-like hourglass apparatus. The same night she experienced a "vision" of opening their back door and seeing a light for a few seconds. Then she blacked out. Kelly experienced the same sense of power she felt in the field in August 1993.

o After the encounter and until July 1994, the Cahill house (built in 1949) had been the scene of fleeting observations of tall "shadows," seen by both Kelly and her husband.

o A bad smell occasionally permeated the house and seemed to move around.

THE OTHER WITNESSES

If the August 8 encounter had revolved only around Kelly, it could be argued that the experience may have been some sort of psychological episode. But the presence of other witnesses - a married couple and their friend, plus a possible other observer in a third car-forcefully argues for a real encounter. Indeed, the PRA contends that the focus of the incident was not Kelly but the two other women.

As in Kelly' s situation, the females in the other group seemed to play a dominant role. Bill, the male witness in the trio, appears, like Kelly's husband, to have had only limited involvement. The two women consciously recalled onboard episodes. They remembered the UFO and the tall black beings. Their description did not feature the red eyes Kelly saw.

For the trio the experience apparently started when they approached the site. All three could hear a strange noise and suddenly felt ill. Bill thought he was going to faint. He lost control of the car and ran off the road, striking a pole. After checking for damage, they drove off. A few minutes later a speeding car with its high beams on shot past them. Then another passed. They came to a bridge with a sharp turn following it almost immediately. Farther along this section the trio stopped. As all this was going on, Bill's vision was impaired. Obviously he had Some type of vision as he was driving, but he was unable to remember seeing the UFO. The two women with him recall the UFO clearly, and their descriptions closely match Kelly's.

In some unexplained manner Bill was isolated from the central experience. He has conscious recall of smells and sounds and remembers that a lot of activity was going on. He does not recall seeing anything. He subsequently underwent hypnosis, which expanded his apparent recollections to seeming onboard components, but once again these were through the senses of smell and hearing only.

The two women did not think of theirs as an "abduction" experience. They felt as if they had exercised free will all through it. Yet the principal element of their onboard experience was a form of examination-not, however, visually remembered. Other parts of their onboard experience exist in visual images and conscious memory. Hypnosis in their cases appears to have only reinforced what they recall already.

The entities did not speak and provided very little information. Neither woman saw the other or any of the others while in the alien environment presumably aboard the UFO. Curiously, each was still aware of what was happening to her companion, ostensibly through psychic means.

The trio apparently did not have the complex background experiences described by Kelly. Their experience seem limited only to the August 8 encounter.

There is also some physical evidence. PRA found a possible related ground trace and low-level magnetic anomaly at the encounter site.

COMMENT

Kelly has gone on to write her own account of the experience and its difficult aftermath. In October 1994 John Auchettl and PRA, whose investigative thoroughness is to be commended, released a comprehensive report on the affair. In this emotionally explosive area it is easy for people to get caught up in less than satisfactory situations while they attempt to understand extraordinary experiences. I hope this event and the documentation that flows from it will be of some help to others in similar situations.

The victims of these experiences must not be unrealistically encouraged by advocates of an alien presence; nor, at the other extreme, should they be ridiculed by the sceptical among us. They should be helped to deal with their experiences, whether those experiences turn out to be prosaic or profound in origin. The second part of this report will review the PRA report and examine in detail the accounts of the other group of witnesses. It will also consider the physical evidence and provide reflections on the nature and meaning of this event.

Update (12/6/02) The Cahill case, PRA & openness:

It should be noted that the above "comment" in the 1994 IUR report was prepared on the assumption that the "PRA comprehensive report on the affair" was about to be released. Despite nearly a decade passing, John Auchettl and PRA have not released their report other than a few fragments of information.

As the researcher responsible for passing Kelly Cahill onto PRA in the first place, principally because I am NSW based and the incident occurred in Victoria, I have to say now that that decision was, in hindsight, a mistake.

My comment in my 1994 IUR report: "John Auchettl and PRA, whose investigative thoroughness is to be commended", was based entirely on conversations with Auchettl and discussions with Kelly Cahill at the time (1993-1994), and in retrospect should have been qualified more accurately. While Auchettl & PRA may well have been thorough in their investigation, in reality there has been no way to absolutely verify this, because of their unwillingness to release their report and data on the case. PRA have offered some seemingly unusual and convoluted explanations for this lack of sharing.

I have long encouraged openness and sharing in UFO research (my web site is in part an expression of my position on this matter). My attempts to encourage PRA in this direction, from my perspective, have been very disappointing, and have instead lead me to not to refer cases to John Auchettl and PRA. Unless PRA changes their apparent lack of transparency and openness, researchers and witnesses should carefully consider the wisdom of cooperating with Phenomena Research Australia (PRA).

Chief Of Jackhead Speaks? Thirdphaseofmoon Interviews Possibly the Chief Of Jackhead First Nation Reservation In Regards To the Possible Biggest UFO Event In Canadian History! [Exclusive Interview] 2/24/2015

February 25, 2015 - When in his final tweet as a presidential adviser, John Podesta said that he was disappointed that he had been unable to achieve release of still secret UFO files in 2014, the general media at first assumed that it was a joke. When his past record on the subject became clear and it was realized that he wasn't joking, most outlets fell silent. The New York Times, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal were all silent. And yet it's major news when a man of Podesta's stature, not to say his access to classified documents, says something like that.

The silence is telling. It comes because the major media has a seventy year long commitment to the idea that there are no aliens here and the whole subject is nonsense. Scientists and intellectuals, in general, take the same position. The general public, on the other hand, is either indifferent or mildly interested. Religious authorities, led by the Catholic Church, seem more able to face this possibility than those of us who are at the forefront of human exploration, as are scientists and intellectuals.

Years ago at the World Affairs Conference at the University of Colorado, I talked with astronaut Rusty Schweikart about this resistance. He said, "I guess I don't want the way to Mars to be a well-worn path." I thought that, in those few words, he made an enormously important point. The people at the leading edge fear disempowerment. We are trying to find ourselves and our place in the universe, and our scientists and humanists are the ones making the discoveries and gaining the insights.

For example, NASA is just now beginning to think about the possibility of interstellar travel. What happens if that's trumped and turns out to be a commonplace? Generations of exploration will never happen. And what of the mysteries of culture and being that are addressed in philosophy? What if there is a definitive answer to the fundamental philosophical question, 'Why is there something rather than nothing?'

How can we bear to go from our present place in discovery to the end of it? If we come into contact, that could be something we must face. Unless, of course, contact is not what it seems.

And, in fact, that might very well be the case. Not that aliens may not be involved, but rather that 'alien' is the wrong word to describe them. I think that a good beginning would be to discard the 'us' vs. 'them' assumption and start with a new one: we don't know what they are, no more than we know what we are.

In this way we can replace what are already tired assumptions about 'the alien' with a new direction that is filled with wonder and rich with empowerment. Of course, we won't do that, at least not initially. The media will rush to the conventional UFO investigators like Stanton Friedman and Leslie Kean, and possibly some officials like John Podesta and even some presently concealed 'insiders.' They will tell a story that, while it isn't untrue, is also not the whole truth. A beginning, certainly, but also exactly the story that is going to leave mankind's intellectual leading edge in a very difficult space, facing the very sort of disempowerment that could fatally blunt our culture's exploratory sharpness.

This must not be and it need not be. This is because there is a larger, more important reality behind the conventional UFO stories. It is about the way we and the visitors are interpenetrated. It is about finding them in us and us in them. It is about discovering, for example, why it is that, during the abduction years, so many of us encountered our dead along with them. And how they communicate. (A thought: We might begin by by forgetting things like instructions and channeled material, unless there comes to be objective proof that any of it is real.)

What communication we have actually received seems to have been more by way of demonstration. For example, in narrative after narrative, the visitors have identified themselves with the owl. And sure enough, if you study the owl, you will find a whole lot that seems to reflect the way the visitors act in our lives. It's not simple, though. Deep, serious study of the species and of the close encounter narratives will reward one with useful insights about how they want us to see them, and, above all, the place they occupy in nature and the cosmos...and the one we occupy.

The truth is that the scientific and intellectual communities stand to gain the most by disclosure, but it is going to be crucial to at once look past the 'alien vs. human' assumptions and the UFO material, and into the real depths that will open within us and before us.

This will by no means disempower us. On the contrary, it will open useful opportunities to advance our sciences and deepen our cultures in ways that are just now coming into focus. We are going to be able to approach basic questions of science and philosophy in entirely new ways. Just knowing that we are in some way involved in this previously hidden inner and outer form of communication tempts us much more toward renaissance than decline.

We must see this for what it has the potential to be: a feast of newness and discovery. But we should not forget the owl, dangerous bird of the night.

Guys, this is not a normal UFO. Its like a drone, but its soul purpose is to create cloud cover for UFOs. I saw 4 such things create 4 cloud tunnels above Rapid City, SD back in 189-1990, then glowing bus size UFOs shot through them. I believe this is a cloud maker drone, either learning or testing its new tech...much like a new printer printing out a test page or two before it starts normal work. The cloud maker itself can only be seen partially with the help of infrared filters, for example I saw one in Taiwan when using an old sony cam with an ir filter on it. I caught it only for 1-2 seconds, but what I saw was a three arm star that turned on its end like a wheel, churning the clouds as it moved through it. I believe that is what made these clouds in Russia...a alien drone whose soul purpose it to create cloud cover for UFO activity. SCW

Russian News States: (Translated)"Unusual" clouds over Vladivostok attracted the attention of users of social networks. The most popular version of the appearance of clouds - UFO (MULTIMEDIA) Photos from the event from other sources. Unusual clouds over Vladivostok. Photo by: Screenshot Instagram user @primdesignVladivostok, February 19, PrimaMedia. Users of popular social networks Twitter and Instagram got a surprise today, February 19, with the appearance of unusual shaped clouds in the sky over Vladivostok. In the photos, which appeared on the Internet more than a dozen tweets, and videos can be seen depicted quite remarkable "white circles", which immediately began to ascribe extraterrestrial origin, RIA PrimaMedia.

Unusual cloud appeared over Vladivostok at lunchtime and instantly became an eye camera lens and gadgets of many citizens. Some expressed concern, if not a UFO has left its mark. Others argue that these bands could leave the plane.

Unfortunately, the editors failed today to receive comments from meteorologists and physicists to discuss what could cause such an unusual form of clouds. Sure that all the laws of physics could explain it all, for example, thereby "effect of the Prandtl-Gloerta", which is most often remembered today internet users. We are talking about the origin of the clouds after the plane. All the same plane?

The emergence of the cloud due to the effect of the Prandtl-Gloerta depends not only on the speed of the aircraft, but also on the temperature and humidity. In normal or slightly elevated humidity cloud formed only at speeds close to the speed of sound. In extreme humidity effect can be observed at lower (transonic, "transonic") speeds.

“Once this evidence is properly looked at, the way it should be, any reasonable person will come to the same conclusion,” Bassett told Roll Call.

Bassett is flooding approximately 180 members of Congress with meeting requests.

And if Basset gets his way, he doesn’t just want some skimpy meeting done for show.

“The goal is to get one of the committees to commit for comprehensive hearings,” Basset said. “Not three witnesses, come up [to] the Hill for half a day and give ’em a spiel. I’m talking about 25, 30, 35 witnesses, at least, testifying over a week, two weeks if possible. The reason is we’ve got those witnesses and the issue is not an issue that you can dispense with something trivial.”

Two people Bassett should get in his corner: John Podesta, President Barack Obama’s counselor, and former President Bill Clinton.

Considering Podesta’s comments that his “biggest failure” was not securing the disclosure of UFO files, it’s a natural fit.

And as far as Clinton, he did once tell Jimmy Kimmel that maybe the only way to united the world would be with an alien invasion.

So really, a congressional hearing on extraterrestrial life could also double as a world peace hearing.

The mystery remains of what the U.S. military was shooting at over Los Angeles

You are a soldier of the American Military in the middle of World War 2 stationed on California’s West Coast. It’s been a arduous three months since the surprise attack on Pearl Harbour. Your CO has ordered you to keep an eye out for possible Japanese sneak attacks. Just last night, a submarine was spotted further north, attempting to destroy an oil refinery – a key target in a conflict that had raged for years now. It is now just after 2am. What was that?

That is the question that historians, veterans, investigators and the general public have been pondering for 70 years now. What was that thing? Was there anything really there?

A barrage balloon?

A Top Secret or covert Black Ops development?

The Japanese Air Force?

A blimp?

Or something else completely?

The debate rages on even now. Regardless of what was spotted, the understandable response of a tense and suspicious army was to fire everything it had at the object and blow the thing completely out of the sky. Approximately 15000 shells later, the apparently undamaged object disappears. Six casualties are reported on the ground; confusion surrounds their fate. Popular consensus stated that the shelling was responsible, but cardiac arrests were reported. If the Air raid sirens and the bombardment of AAA guns did anything, it was to wake up the entire city. Witnesses reported everything from single white lights to a giant alien mothership.

Of course this epic encounter was sandwiched roughly half way between the infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast and the Kenneth Arnold sightings. With everything that was taking place, only one man took the time to record the event photographically. This picture, shown in this article, has become one of the most enduring and iconic of all UFO photographs on record. While it has been retouched and restored, a routine practice for most photography of the era, the LA Times has categorically denied any and all accusations that it has somehow doctored or enhanced the photograph. The image does support the notion that something was hovering or moving at the time. A recent curiosity came to light when UFO researcher Ben Hanson (of Fact or Faked) researched the encounter; the negative stored within the LA Times archive was discovered to be a copy and not an original.

The Press and Media had a field day during and shortly after the sighting. CBS reported on the incident as if it were broadcast live but was, in fact, recorded several hours after the last of the shelling had stopped. Press conferences were arranged and held as promptly as could be realistically expected. Some of these insisted on explanations such as false alarms, practice drills and a combination of mass hysteria and vivid imaginations. The official verdict was that the entire episode was caused by a lack of proper knowledge of the primitive radar technology, heightened tensions of the War and what may or may not have happened and general confusion. Surely someone must have realised this at some point during the two or three barrage.

Reports of wreckage being found and shipped off somewhere were denied. It is possible that some of the shelling had somehow been mistaken for debris from whatever was thought to be gliding over the skies that night. It was also thought that the shells themselves were taken to be enemy aircraft and fired upon as well. It cannot be refuted that the War itself was a contributing factor to whatever was going on at the time. Five years before or after might have made a difference. When the conclusion of hostilities arrived, the Japanese military insisted that none of their aircraft or forces were involved in whatever was seen during that particular night-time.

Every side in this fascinating tale has denied any culpability of responsibility, which is likely to mean that The Battle of Los Angeles is a mystery not likely to be solved to any great satisfaction.

Apparently the United Nations thought this case with Thomas Reed was important enough to appear before a Parapsychology meeting before the United Nations. Contained within this interview is photographic evidence of the fact that this case was indeed discussed before many delegates of the United Nations of their Parapsychology unit. Many other faces were there from the UFO community as well. Below is the photographic evidence of the Reed Family and their lawyers being involved in the case that was discussed at the United Nations. Lawyer Robert Bletchman who represents the case is shown mentioned in the evidence heavily. As well as the stunning revelation that the U.N. actually discussed UFOs, Aliens, and the Paranormal.

For more on the Reed Family Case

Two decades of collected evidence solidify the Reed family Multi-Generational abduction case. The findings have been said to be overwhelming, and one of the strongest cases ever professionally investigated. Thomas and Matthew Reed are the two sons of a prominent Connecticut Mayor and attorney who ran the democratic ticked support by Senator Christopher Dodd. This family of professionals have reported they involvement to local authorities, Mufon and aerospace groups since the mid 1980’s.

The individual cases have been investigated by several groups and over a span over 20 years. There file classified as a CE-4/ 3-star file: Close Encounter of the 4th kind to include physical evidence. Their family’s involvement in the late 1960’s that had seemingly been behind them, surfaced once again while the two boys were successful professionals raising their young Children. In the Brownsburg IN abduction of April 2009, investigators Identified strong radioactive material and radioactive Hot Spots. The radiation on the Reeds SUV had been detected with a Geiger counter. Forceful Magnetic fields were also present on the vehicle and strong enough to spin a compass in circles form two and a half feet away. The testing equipment and readings have been recorded on camera and are logged in the Mufon CMS. The only common factors are that the family shares the RH Negative blood group and has lived relatively close to nuclear power plants.

Their investigations would also uncover, trace evidence, witnesses, damaged digital instrument gages, and physical makings on Matthew & Thomas Reed. The April 2009 craft was spotted on radar and observed by local residents. The professional groups involved in the validation of this case include. police officers, The Star Team, a Roan County C.C. Detective, MUFON, Doctors, and Attorney Robert Bletchman, who discussed the case along with others at the United Nations Symposium on Extraterrestrial Intelligence and Human Future which occurred on October 2, 1992, just ten days before NASA was to begin its SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program.

Thomas’s son participated and undergone psychoanalysis after their school found him to test in the superior range. Test results reflected 127% rank, / 96% throughout the US. Doctor Michael Buckner a respected Ph.D. then evaluated his son and verified the child did present remote viewing abilities. The document and medical record was dated Sept 2010. The heightened abilities have also been supported and witnessed by TN Mufon assistant state director and Officer Steve White a Roan County Sheriff. Members of the Reed family have taken and passed a Polygraph test. Several of the drawings sketched in the 1960’s and 70’s from Thomas Reed are displayed in the Roswell UFO museum. The Reeds have also appeared on The Church Of Mabus Radio Show. Once Tom appeared with Travis Walton of the Fire in the Sky legacy.

The Reeds are a well-respected family of Attorneys, Physicians and Business owners, with October 6th a local designated holiday recognizing their family’s contributions to the City of Bridgeport. Thomas started his career as a fashion photographer, before accepting positions in upper management for several future 500 companies. Thomas is also the founder of Miami Models, with clients such as Polo Black Label, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Ralph Lauren, Parisian, Vogue Bambini, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

The Georgia family was driving along Furys Ferry Road in the Augusta-Martinez area when they first saw the hovering triangle. Pictured: Furys Ferry Road in Martinez. (Credit: Google)

A Georgia family at Augusta encountered a hovering triangle-shaped UFO along Furys Ferry Road and drove under the object for a better look, according to testimony in Case 63503 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The husband, wife and son were driving along Furys Ferry Road when they first saw the hovering object about 7:30 p.m. on February 21, 2015.

“Wife thought it was new cell tower or something, but the lights were white and very bright,” the reporting witness stated.

The family drove toward the object.

“Drove underneath and to one side and saw it was a triangle with bright lights at each corner and a small red light in center.”

As the family drove under the object, it tilted slightly. Pictured: Old Furys Ferry Road in Martinez. (Credit: Google)

The object moved as they drove by.

“As we drove past, it tilted slightly and began moving.”

The family then drove past the object, but decided to turn around and go back for another look.

“I drove down one-quarter mile and spun around. By the time we got back it had moved off very rapidly and it appeared in the distance. Thought I saw a blinking/pulsing blue light on the side facing us as it flew off. No sound.”

The object eventually moved away making no sound. Pictured: Old Furys Ferry Road in Martinez. (Credit: Google)

Augusta is a consolidated city-county in Georgia, population 197,872.

Georgia is currently a UFO Alert Level 5 – with 1.01 sightings per million population based on MUFON January 2015 statistics. Georgia received a total of 10 UFO reports in January.

The UFO Alert Rating System is based on five levels – 1 through 5 – where states with 4.01 or higher reports per million residents are rated an Alert 1; 3.01 – 4.0 reports are an Alert 2; 2.51 – 3.0 are an Alert 3; 2.01 – 2.5 are an Alert 4; and those states with 2.0 or lower are rated an Alert 5.

This weekend I was notified that a recent UFO sighting, involving a dramatic crash into Lake Winnipeg in Canada has now gotten the attention of amateur UFO researchers and those who wish to debunk the crash as some sort of experiment gone wrong.

The UFO report was first filed on Facebook by a man named Brent Mancheese, who snapped a few photos in the area of the crash and posted them on his news feed.

Lake Winnipeg prior to crash

Immediately his Facebook page had been taken down. The UFO crash, which garnered attention for the dramatic nature of the military UFO cover-up involved, occurred near Jackhead, Manitoba. With this event standing as one of the most dramatic UFO incidents of the past several months

Another dramatic UFO encounter happened in Peru during a television interview.

A television production crew in Lima, Peru, videotaped a purple-colored disc-shaped UFO hovering in the distant sky near a construction site. So far, there’s no official explanation for the object.

According to Peru This Week, the TV show “Alto al Crimen” was shooting an episode in the upscale Miraflores district of Lima on February 10. The show’s host, Lima Congressman Renzo Reggiardo, halted an interview to allow his camera operator to focus on the strange-looking purple object in the sky.

The object was a classic disc shaped object that was just hovering over a construction site giving off a strange purple and blue color.

Meanwhile the Canadian UFO crash kept gaining ground as residents in the area of Jackhead told that there was a shelter in place in effect and that all cell phone and computer communications would be halted until the craft was safely pulled out of the ice and the danger was clear.

Literally, the Canadian military had blocked communications about the incident, which brings up a lot of questions that I am sure the military does not want to answer.

UFOs of course are a hard sell in a world where skepticism has taken hold all because of internet opportunists that love a good UFO story that they can hoax or use to fool the public.

It seems there was indeed something in the ice of military interest on Feb. 18. Pictures of military vehicles near Jackhead were popping up all over the internet, generating from twitter accounts in Winnipeg.

People described the vehicle as looking like a stepped up pyramid about 200 yards long and triangular shaped. One resident commented that whatever the craft was, it was huge and had a long set of lights and literally broke in two. Pieces of it were seen heading straight up and then dropping suddenly into the lake causing a huge wave that pushed the ice up into huge piles.

CBC news was alerted to all of the talk of UFOs and decided to investigate. What they reported was that it was not a UFO at all, according to Lt.-Col. Paul Davies, commanding officer 38 Territorial Battalion Group. He claimed that the battalion is involved with an Arctic Response Company Group training exercise on Lake Winnipeg called Arctic Bison 2015

Members of the Arctic Response Company Group drive across frozen Lake Winnipeg during Exercise Arctic Bison 2015.

About 150 military personnel are taking part in Exercise Arctic Bison 2015, which includes the 38 Canadian Brigade Group, the 2nd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, the 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group, and 440 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Davies said soldiers are training to deal with a plane crash and provide ground search and rescue support in the Arctic.

The bright light that people saw, he explained, came from an airplane that takes off very quickly and then crashes.

Residents were not aware of this exercise and during the UFO incident a very harsh cold front has blown through making it dangerous to be outside. It is also peculiar that a shelter in place command has been issue for the area. Nobody is allowed to leave or enter the reservation at this time and that the military has been going door to door talking with residents. They are telling the residents that they are conducting emergency training exercises.

If it routine training why all of the drama, why is there a shelter in place command being issued by the military and with the extreme cold front in Manitoba over the last two days why would these so called exercises continue in extremely dangerous conditions. In a deadly freeze, it is dangerous to spend time outdoors for any period.

The military has moved in all their equipment effectively blocking any view of what may have crashed into the water or what they are doing there.

We contacted Peter Davenport from the National UFO Reporting Center. He tells us that he had contacted Dr. Chris Ruthowski from the Canadian UFO report in Manitoba and the strike team from MUFON and they claim there is nothing to the story.

What we lack are credible witnesses in this story. The few that have talked are now being told not to. The evidence was not first presented to a credible news agency. Even if a UFO crashed in the waters of Jackhead, there would be a hardly anyone that could accurately get near it. All we have are a few curious pictures and some commentary that something evidently crashed there.

Again it is a matter of who do you trust, the military’s explanation or what people saw?

The UFO community is frequently inundated with promises of easy answers. Insiders emerge with convenient explanations about what is being seen, and with the latest Blue Book revelations there is more caution now about what is reported and what is left to be ignored.

It is always interesting to see what UFO stories eventually become easily explained away by the military and which ones aren’t explained and how long it will take for the story to get lost somewhere in the memory hole.

Many people in the field of research sincerely wants to believe that UFOs piloted by aliens is a common thing, but the truth is there are many theories that presume that perhaps the alien UFOs are rare and that what we are experiencing is the result of alien probes or unmanned or Artificial intelligence now pilots these aircraft.

In October of 2012, more than 100 UFOs were seen along the India-China border, and the sightings had officials puzzled. The Times of India reported that “yellowish spheres appeared to have lifted off from the horizon on the Chinese side and slowly traversed the sky for three to five hours before disappearing.”

The Times of India added that the UFO sightings stumped numerous Indian military groups, including their air force, NTRO technical intelligence agency and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police. The Los Angeles Times reported that intelligence had ruled out the simple answer of the UFOs being Chinese drones or low-orbit satellites. Even though officials tried to calm the population with possible down to earth explanations the people were not convinced that the objects were from earth or even friendly.

In fact a photographer who had witnessed this phenomenon began shooting pictures. What he witnessed was something that even baffled him. What he saw were orbs and spheres but what he also witnessed was what appeared to be machines with what appeared to be mechanical arms picking up spoil samples.

It was suggested that this was an extraterrestrial probe looking for earth soil. The theory lasted a long time and got the attention and the imagination of the people in China and India. In 2014, however, the media suggested that the UFOs in question were Chinese balloons gathering information and positions of troops along Chinese border. China is on altogether different level as compared to Indians in terms of technological advancement in military operations. The highly advanced robots that were used at the border have not been explained satisfactorily.

It is stating the obvious to say that everybody who does UFO research has at one time or another wished for the one great event — the ultimate smoking gun — that would decisively reveal the truth. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut. UFO research is just plain hard work.

In Ufology, a close encounter or CE is an event in which a person witnesses an unidentified flying object. This terminology and the system of classification behind it was started by astronomer and UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek, and was first suggested in his 1972 book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry. He introduced the first three kinds of encounters; more sub-types of close encounters were later added by others, but these additional categories are not universally accepted by UFO researchers.

Most are familiar with the term “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” because of the Steven Spielberg film which introduced the pop culture to UFO encounters. As UFO encounters have became more sophisticated there have been more terminologies associated with such encounters. These numeric terminologies were added after Hynek’s scientific studies.

CE-4: A UFO event in which a human is abducted by a UFO or its occupants. This type was not included in Hynek’s original close encounters scale

Hynek’s erstwhile associate Jacques Vallee argued in the Journal of Scientific Exploration that a CE4 should be described as “cases when witnesses experienced a transformation of their sense of reality,” so as to also include non-abduction cases where absurd, hallucinatory or dreamlike events are associated with UFO encounters.

CE-5: A UFO event that involves direct communication between aliens and humans. This type of close encounter was named by Steven M. Greer’s CSETI group. Those of this type are described as bilateral contact experiences through conscious, voluntary and proactive human-initiated cooperative communication with extraterrestrial intelligence.

CE-6: Death of a human or animal associated with a UFO sighting. Close Encounters of the Seventh Kind –The creation of a human/alien hybrid, either by sexual reproduction or by artificial scientific methods.

There are also military terms for UFOs. There are “Bogeys,” “Santa Claus,” and, if they crash, they are known as “Fallen Angels.” The term also refers to a military craft that has crashed with a pilot inside.

The investigation of UFO sightings involves many hours spent interviewing witnesses, surveying sighting locations, collecting photos and evidence, digging through archives, and even going to the site itself to investigate.

I would say for the sake of argument that since the temperatures at Jackhead and Lake Winnipeg are so frigid and dangerous, all reports from outside sources should be considered spurious. The only people that know what has happened to them are the residents of the area and of course the military knows as well.

The sad thing is we often find out about sightings long after they happen — when the trail has become stone cold. Other times the trail of evidence leads to a dead end: Witnesses don’t agree, somebody lies, evidence is lost or compromised, or an event turns out to be a hoax. Yet still we persevere. Eventually we see the fuzzy beginnings of a picture of the UFO phenomenon – but still we find no smoking gun. There are no easy answers.

For a UFO hunter like you, do you care to share how you do capturing? Do you have a hidden technique how to easily capture a UFO once it is around your area? Perhaps, you have a different technique from others, isn’t it? UFO hunters have various ways to capture their most awaited hunting with UFOs. Originally, there is nothing wrong which such waiting. There is nothing wrong if you get used to a long waiting prior to capturing UFOs.

But for once in your hunting experience, have you not thought of possibly changing your hunting technique in order to stop waiting and just be amazed how you can easily hunt and take enormous shots of UFOs for a certain period of time? If you are open to possibilities and you have thought about this, lucky you for there is now a latest tool that will ultimately teach you the WHAT, HOW and WHEN you can hunt UFOs.

Do you want to know what this tool is? To excite you no more, this guide is a book titled “How to Capture UFO.” By far, this book is the most recommended by UFO hunters who been have greatly benefited by the book. From the previous waiting in vain for a UFO to pass their telescope, this book covers everything hunters need to know in order to easily and immediately capture UFOs. Here are some of main subjects this book covers:

The Right Equipment. These are everything you need in order to get professional audio, photos and videos of UFO.

How to Research. Prior to hunting for UFOs, you need to have complete basic preparation about it.

Getting Good Results. You need to get tangible proofs in order to make people believe your experience. Once your pictures are unprofessional and grainy, no one will believe your UFO captures.

UFOs or unidentified flying objects have always been present throughout history. One major example for this presenting is the Halley’s Comet. This comet was initially documented by the Chinese astronomers in 240 B.C. It terrified people for a lot of cases.

Oftentimes, UFOs were related with religious insinuations. People sight them off like angels or other celestial beings. Even the UFO hunters today have compared the religious symbols and icons displayed in old paintings in accordance to UFO sighting.

It is crystal clear that UFOs are not a natural security issue but a scientific one. Issues about these flying saucers have long been around. Studies are continuous and never ending. UFO hunting is no like walking in the park. It is more than just putting your boots on and snapping photos of UFO. It is quite a complicated task in which you must be prepared in order to get and deliver a story that people will believe in. Your story will only be accepted by people see clear evidences about for story.

thanks Peter, I had a quick glance at your blog...just so you know it really was a military exercise in Manitoba, where I was born and raised. THe picture showing the pyramide type object is just a pile of snow and ice, as they were clearing a path for a landing strip..common sense, why would a UFO look like and have some consistency, color of the snow..it's not a coverup..Thirdphaseofmoon really did a false and bad reporting on it..interviewing someone that wasnt even there, so it didn't help as well as many other non credible sights taking advantage of the hoax...I would reconsider what you mentioned in your blog...Chris Rutkowski is from Winnipeg and he's unbiased and researcher, he investigated it and it was really just an exercise..I have other colleagues and friends from the area, nothing of what they are stating about what happened ever occurred...just thought you should know...thanks

Canada UFO Crash 2015...

Last Wednesday February 18, 2015 in lake Winnipeg, near Jackhead Canada, there was an alleged UFO crash. There were several eyewitnesses that saw a pyramidal or disk shaped object crash in the frozen lake. Military arrive at the zone and told the witnesses that it was an airplane crash during a military training exercise and that they were not allowed to have or take any pictures of the craft in the lake.

That night facebook and twitter was filled with eyewitnesses stories and photos of what they saw and what the military people told them. The rumor was stronger when photos of the Canadian Forces vehicles in the area, allegedly to contain the UFO crash site made an appearance.

Lt.-Col. Paul Davies, commanding officer 38 territorial battalion group, involved in an Artic Response Company Group training exercise on the lake Winnipeg told CBC news that there was no UFO at all, it was all an exercise. "There'sno aliens, just my friends in the air force who are out helping un on the exercise".

Davies said soldiers were training to deal with a plane crash and provide ground search and rescue support in the Artic. If it was all an exercise why all the secrecy and why all the witnesses were detained and no pictures must been taken, that sounds more like a cover up, than an exercise.

Allegedly the object was being pulled by snow mobiles from the crash site on the lake. The Crash was in a Indian reservation and nobody was allowed to leave or enter the reservation, soldiers were going door to door talking to residents and telling them that all was a military exercise.

After military arrived to the zone they moved all their equipment blocking any view of what mayor have crashed and what they where doing with it.

If all of this was a hoax, a military exercise of in fact a UFO crash we are not sure at the moment. As always history is repeating itself and military are covering everything up with "exercise" stories to maintain people calm and with the curiosity on low levels. If you think about it its all really weird to be just a military routine stuff. But if all was an exercise crash why the huge mobilization of soldiers and tons of equipment blocking the view of the site?

Also why the eyewitnesses weren't allowed to have any pictures and allegedly they were detained? Why does anyone wasn't able to enter or exit the reserve and soldiers were losing time going door by door telling the same story to every resident of the reserve? It's like too much trouble and work just for an exercise that is something so common in the military.

We have to be really open minded and question everything, because all things have at least two sides of the story. The one you choose to believe it's your decision...

500 Year Old Map Was Discovered That Shatters The “Official” History Of The Planet

500 Year Old Map Was Discovered That Shatters The “Official” History Of The Planet

Human history is quite an enigma. We know so little, and much of what we think we know seems to be highly questionable in the wake of new evidence, as well as pre-existing information that challenges our current understanding of the world.

Our world is no stranger to unexplained mystery, and there are numerous examples of verified phenomenon, ancient monuments, books, teachings, understandings and more that lack any explanation and counter what we’ve already been taught. We are like a race with amnesia, able to put together small bits and pieces of our history yet unable to provide any sort of verified explanation. There are still many missing pieces to the puzzle.

One great example is the Piri Reis map, a genuine document that was re-made (copied from older documents) at Constantinople in AD 1513, and discovered in 1929. It focuses on the western coast of Africa, the eastern coast of South America, and the northern coast of Antarctica. It was drawn by the military intelligence of Admiral Piri Reis of the Ottoman era. He is a well-known historical figure whose identity is well established. The Admiral made a copy of it, and the original was drawn based on documents that date back to at least the fourth century BC, and on information obtained by multiple explorers.

Why The Map Is So Compelling

Right off the bat, one of the most compelling facts about the map is that it includes a continent that our history books tell us was not discovered until 1818.

Secondly, the map depicts what is known as “Queen Maud Land,” a 2.7 million-square-kilometer (1 million sq mi) region of Antarctica as it looked millions of years ago. This region and other regions shown on the map are thought to have been covered completely in ice, but the map tells a different story. It shows this area as ice free, which suggests that these areas passed through a long ice-free period which might not have come to an end until approximately six thousand years ago, which again, totally goes against what is taught and currently believed. Today, geological evidence has confirmed that this area could not have been ice-free until about 4000 BC.

Official science has been saying all along that the ice-cap which covers the Antarctic is millions of years old. The Piri Reis map shows that the northern part of that continent has been mapped before the ice did cover it. This means that it was mapped a million years ago, but that’s impossible, since mankind did not exist at that time. Quite the conundrum isn’t it?

Professor Charles Hapgood, who was a university history professor, wrote to the United States Air Force Reconnaissance Technical Squadron (SAC) and they also confirmed that“this indicates the coastline had been mapped before it was covered by the ice-cap.” (1) They also went on to state that “we have no idea how the data on this map can be reconciled with the supposed state of geographical knowledge in 1513.” (1) (The reply was from Harold Z. Ohlmeyer, a Lt Colonel, USAF)

Here’s what Professor Charles Hapgood had to say about it:

“It appears that accurate information has been passed down from people to people. It appears that the charts must have originated with a people unknown and they were passed on, perhaps by the Minoans and the Phoenicians, who were, for a thousand years and more, the greatest sailors of the ancient world. We have evidence that they were collected and studied in the great library of Alexandria (Egypt) and that compilations of them were made by the geographers that worked there.” (1)

Furthermore, the map is very detailed and includes mountain ranges in the Antarctic. which were not even discovered until 1952.

“His idea is original, of great simplicity, and – if it continues to prove itself – of great importance to everything that is related to the history of the Earth’s surface.” – Einstein on Hapgood’s interpretations of the map (1)(2) (From a forward Einstein wrote for Hapgood in one of his books)

Hapgood and mathematician Richard W. Strachan have also provided more mind-boggling information. For example, a comparison with modern day photographs that are taken from satellite images shows remarkable similarities; the originals of Piri Reis’ maps might well have been aerial photographs taken from a very high height. (2) I’ll let you think about that for a second. How is that possible for a map that was made millions of years ago?

“A spaceship hovers high above Cairo and points its camera straight downward. When the film is developed, the following picture would emerge: everything that is in a radius of about 5,000 miles of Cairo is reproduced correctly, because it lies directly below the lens. But the countries and continents become increasingly distorted the farther we move our eyes from the center of the picture. Why is this? Owing to the spherical shape of the earth, the continents away from the center “sink downward.” South America, for example, appears strangely distorted length-ways, exactly as it does on the Piri Reis maps! And exactly as it does on the photographs taken from the American lunar probes.” – (Erich Von Daniken 92)

Changing Our View of The Past

The fact that this ancient map could have been made with some sort of arial technology is quite a thought, isn’t it? Even if this isn’t an option, who had the technology to undertake such an accurate geographical survey in Antarctica a couple million years ago? How would they have known to detail the map as if it were taken from above, with knowledge about the earth’s shape?

It remains a mystery how the Sumerians, Mayans, and others were aware of bodies in space that are impossible to detect without modern technology, and were able to make calculations based on that awareness. This map is another example of just such a mystery, and suggests that the existence of some sort of ancient advanced civilization, with all the tools (or possibly more) of modern day civilization, is indeed plausible.

For more detailed information regarding this truly fascinating map, I suggest you check out source # 1 for starters.

I’d also like to mention that this map is part of a very large body of evidence suggesting that extremely intelligent, very advanced ancient civilizations once roamed the Earth.

February 24, 2015- What's happening in Siberia's thawing permafrost and Greenland's melting glaciers sounds borderline supernatural. A ncient viruses, bacteria, plants, and even animals have been cryogenically frozen there for millennia—and now, they are waking up.

Cryofreezing is best known for its appearances in science fiction, but self-styled "resurrection ecologists" are now showing the world just how real it is.

In 2012, scientists germinated flowers from a handful of 32,000 year old seeds excavated from the Siberian tundra. Last year, researchers hatched 700-year old eggs from the bottom of a Minnesota lake, while another team resuscitated an Antarctic moss that had been frozen since the time of King Arthur. Bacteria, however, are the uncontested masters of cryogenics—one bug, at least, was alive and kicking after 8 million years of suspended animation.

Fear not—while awakening a million-year old plague sounds like a great scifi plot, most of these critters are totally harmless. But they're fascinating for another reason: They're a window into Earth's past; one that may offer clues to how species will cope with change in the future. Here's what the emerging field of resurrection ecology—which is as badass as it sounds—may allow scientists to do.

Evolutionary biologists are accustomed to thinking about deep time —events that occurred millions, even billions of years in Earth's past. Using fossils, rocks and chemical signatures, scientists have built beautifully detailed theories about what our ancient world looked like. Still, if there's one thing any dino researcher would kill for, it'd be the chance to see one of her long-lost subjects in the flesh.

For the first time now, biologists can do just that—study live organisms that hail from a different era. Sure, bacteria and mosses are a far cry from a T-rex, but being able to poke and prod any creature that crawled about a million years ago is still astounding. As scientists described in the 2013 resurrection ecology manifesto, cryogenically frozen specimens are like an "evolutionary time machine." They offer researchers a new way to study the past, but also, the chance to observe evolution in real time.

What would it mean to see evolution in action? Going back to dinosaurs for a moment, imagine you're a paleontologist studying the evolution of feathers. It'd sure be nice if you could clone some dinos, rear them in your Jurassic Park-sized lab, expose them to a range of different environmental conditions—evolutionary biologists call these "selective pressures"—and re-create the "scenario" that caused plumage to evolve. Clearly, this particular experiment is preposterous and will never happen.

But with microbes, which multiply in minutes and pack by the billions into a petri dish, researchers can now do something similar.

Drones flying over France prompted a new terror alert for the nation. At least five drones were spotted flying over French landmarks, including the U.S. Embassy. New terror alert for France after ‘at least’ five drones are spotted flying above Paris landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and including the U.S. Embassy.

The drones were noticed fairly quickly when flying over top tourists spots in France. The unmanned aircraft were spotted in “at least” five different locations in the capital between midnight and 6 a.m. French security agents were not able to catch the drone operators.

Civilian drones are not permitted in France due to a stated security risk involving such unmanned aircraft. It is reportedly believed by many security experts that drones are used by terrorists to garner access to targets prior to an attack. Civilian drones are not permitted near French nuclear facilities due to a no-fly zone which encompasses a 1.6-mile radius around such facilities.
